After flying for six years= , finally removed and disassembled my glass and
foam header tank. During= those six years I periodically used ethanol fuel
and whatever. Always u= sed auto fuel.  No evidence of degradation of any
component...= .soft aluminum, foam, epoxy. All looks perfect.

I'm going to repla= ce glass tank with aluminum so I can mount two wet
pumps inside. Wet pumps the only way to= go for safety advantage.

Just a reminder, all epoxy that is fuel e= xposed must be high ratio type.
Like 4 to 1.   50/50 ratio epo= xies can NOT handle fuel over time.
