Subject: [FlyRotary] Yet another limp home story

Hey James,
I have heard of fuel tanks becoming soft and leaking but not disintegrating.  I was building my Cozy strake tank area with West Systems epoxy as many boat builders use this including to fuel tanks.  E-mailed West Systems asking if their epoxy would hold up to alcohol in fuel and they not only answered but called me personally to say that it is not rated for alcohol.  They recommended a Proset system. I then had to coat my tanks with that epoxy, hope they are right.
