I tested the hell out of that. No effect. Years of exposure to different
batches of known alcohol. I understand that if you use a resin of high
proportions of hardener to resin, it's resistant. If you use 50/50, it isn't.
I had 50/50 get soft from fuel exposure.
This info consistent with all the other guys that did the same
test.

It will make it less attractive for those with
fiberglass tanks. Alcohol/gas mixes are more aggressive than either gas or
alcohol alone.

By the Farm Bureau Paper it is stated that
Wisconsin has passed a law that all 87 no lead will contain 10% alcohol
and that nine other states are considering it. It didn't mention the
other no lead grades. Here in Michigan it is under consideration at
this time, and there is a good chance it pass. Other than cutting
the power some what, is going to effect the operation of the rotary in
some other way. JohnD
