I think it's time someone developed a set of plastic molded fuel tanks (or =
bladders) for the various composite airplanes ... I hope the EZPoxy doesn't=
 become OOZYpoxy in another 5-6 years.

Just in case anyone is thinking that fuel tanks made with MGS epoxy will=20
stand up to prolonged auto-gas / ethanol exposure, I'm here to tell you=20
that they won't.

I'm in the process of removing and replacing the inner skins in both=20
fuel tanks on my Cozy IV.

See http://forum.canardaviation.com/showthread.php?t=3D4594 for a detailed=
=20
report and pictures. I'll post more pictures on my web site when the=20
repair job is complete.
