Jim,
I have two fiber glas tanks in the wings of my
AVID. Have used it since 2000 with no problem. Mogas only. I am not sure, but I
belive those are made using polyester C , which was offered in the '90s for fuel
tanks. I also made a fuel tank for my Gyro for two stroke mix, using
Polyester C . This tank has nnot shown any deterioration after having carried
Mogas for more than 12 years.
If I had to make anotherone now, I would use Vinyl
esther, which is used for gasoline storage tanks in gas stations. Vinylesther is
as easy to work with as with polyester, but is considered compatible with most
chemicals.

tanks
Is there anyone in this group who is running Mogas with ethanol
exclusively and also has
fiberglass fuel tank(s)?
If anyone fits this profile and their tanks are holding up and not
leaking or softening please respond with what type of resin system was
used.
I used the Aeropoxy brand epoxy and this did not hold up.
I am looking for an alternative.
Thanks,
Jim
