Way to be thorough Wendell! I encourage the mason jar test too, just to
make sure.
I'm building with epoxy and was using West Systems
because the boat people recommend it for fuel tanks. Out of curiosity, I
e-mailed West Systems questioning the use of their epoxy with fuel with
alcohol. They did not e-mail back but quickly phoned to tell me that it
would not hold up to alcohol and suggested using
Pro-Set 145 resin with Pro-Set 226 hardener.
I used this as a coating on the Cozy tanks and also to bond the top skins onto
the tanks.

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