Al,

Your statement below could lead some to = think that=20 by adding more hardner to an epoxy mix that you could make it more = resistant to=20 fuel. I don't think that is what you meant, you might want to clarify it = *and*=20 provide the name/model of the epoxy that you tested.

I tested the hell out of that. No effect. Years of exposure to = different=20 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.=20 I had 50/50 get soft from fuel exposure.

This info consistent with all the other guys that did the same=20 test.
