perfect.
That’s good
news.
Just a reminder, all epoxy that is fuel exposed must
be high ratio type.
Like 4 to 1. 50/50 ratio epoxies can NOT
handle “fuel” over time.
That’s bad
news. Should I conclude from this that EZ-poxy (44-56 by weight) will
NOT handle fuel with ethanol? I assume when you say “fuel” you mean fuel
with ethanol, since experience has shown that EZ-poxy has handled auto fuel
for periods of 15 years in some EZs.
