I used Pro-Set 145 Epoxy resin and Pro-Set 226 hardener,  the rep says it will hold up to alcohol in gasoline.  I was using West System epoxy in my Cozy tanks and e-mailed West Systems if it would how up to alcohol and they went to the trouble to call me and tell me that West System would not hold up to alcohol but recommended the Pro-Set system (an affiliate or owned by West System).  So I will only know when and if I use gasohol.  I used it over the West System as a coating (after sanding). Will build sump out of it completely.

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
