If your lower wing skins were attached with Hysol It will not work !!  Jeffco has another epoxy you can use if they havent been closed yet. I have those numbers if you would like them... A sad voice of experience.......

Subject: Auto Fuel -- Again

Lycoming's recent announcement that they will be certifying the standard compression O-360 and IO-360 for auto fuel has me wondering about the other components in my fuel system, especially since most auto gas these days contains alcohol.  These are the components that I'd like to know are compatible with auto gas.  If you can shed any light on this, I'd like to know.

I am not intending to revive the Avgas-vs-autogas debate.  I am merely trying to make sure that I am not making my airplane incapable of using auto gas.

Jeffco fuel tank sealer
Facet fuel pump
Tygon fuel lines
Aeroquip 601/AE701 fuel line
Rubber O-rings in gas caps purchased from Lancair
Dukes fuel pump
Andair gascolator
O-rings used on fuel pump fittings

I think that's the complete list, other than engine components which would be addressed by Lycoming.
