Tim,

I asked the original question because of cost and long term leaded fue= l availability. In my case the engine was built by Aerosport Power sp= ecifically to be auto gas compatible, including a lower compression ratio.&= nbsp; Based on a couple of inputs I do not see any problem with the Je= ffco 9700 fuel tank sealer, and it is simple to change to suitable fuel hos= es. I tried to get data from Hysol, but without success; does anyone = have a suitable contact point for them?

There are a couple of sloshing sealers available that are designed to = be resistant to both auto gas and ethanol. I know of at least one 360= owner who used them successfully to deal with a minor fuel leak. How= ever I have also heard that they can cause long term problems by flaking of= f, so I would be hesitant to use them.

Based on Bill Harrrelson's experience, I think that I was probably= worrying about nothing.

There is probably more to consider tha= n Hysol only.

- Fuel tank sealer

- Jeffco epoxy resin (in my case used = as tank sealer)

- Fuel hoses

- Fuel pump diaphragms
- Carbutator gaskets

- Carburator diaphragms (Ellison TBI i= n my case)

Some of the above is surely non-i= ssues or easy fixes, but with Avgas running at $ 11.50/gal and Mogas at $ 5= .50/gal ( a pure giveaway! ), I certainly would be interested in any experi= enced opinion on the issue!

Has anyone considered flushing the tan= ks with a second sealer, that tolerates ethanol? Does this even exist?
