Check
with a Hysol Application Engineer first, and ask for fuel compatibility
documentation! How (e.g., scale of 1 to 10, 10 being best) does
Hysol adhesive #????? compatibility with federal standard 100LL aviation
gasoline compare with 92 unleaded automobile gasoline; and alcohol additive
octane booster and other local California boutique anti-smog winter blends,
etc.?

I am looking for ideas as to how I could ensure that my 360 wings will be
compatible with Auto gas. The wings are finished as standard using Hysol
adhesive. My engine has been built to be fully compatible with auto gas,
as are the other fuel system components. I would like the option to use
auto gas at times, partly because of concerns about future 100LL availability,
and partly for cost reasons for the future. I understand that there are
some concerns that auto gas can affect Hysol over time, and want to seal the
exposed adhesive seam in the wing tanks.
Sloshing sealers have a bad reputation, plus there are multiple types out
there, and I do not understand all the pros and cons. I was thinking of
trying to thin Jeffco tank sealant, then introduce it into the tank through
flexible clear hose, and tilt the tank to run it along the seams. Does
anyone have a better idea? Am I right to be concerned about
compatibility with the Hysol for occasional or regular use? Any
non-flaming ideas would be welcome. Thanks.
