[FlyRotary] Re: Auto fuel
I have glass tanks made with Vinyl ester resin in my
coot and I have had no problem with Alcohol/gas blend in the tanks or
with the engine ether.

I agree. I have Safety-poxy/EZ-poxy
tanks. I burn 10% ethanol every winter, no problems whatsoever.

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.
