When I get a sec I'll have to go look it up, but if memory serves me correctly.. there was someone else who did the same test, just with water included and stated they hadn't found a suitable fuel tank sealer or liner [meaning some type of resin coating] which stood up to this combination. Again thats all from memory.
Everyone has their own comfort level, but the thing that scares the bejeesuses* outta me when thinking of a composite tank is that there is no way at all that I can test for the things that some state regulator will determine by fiat must be included in the fuel next year or 5 years hence. I have a towable airplane, making it much easier to pickup fuel from any random service station. I'm going to build an aluminum tank, even though the plans call for a glass one. I wouldn't have a concern if I knew I'd always use avgas, but I find auto gas and glass tanks an iffy combination.
*bejeesuses - technical term for stuff you want to stay inside.
