I think it's time someone developed a set of plastic molded fuel tanks (or bladders) for the various composite airplanes ... I hope the EZPoxy doesn't become OOZYpoxy in another 5-6 years.

Subject: [FlyRotary] MGS Epoxy and Ethanol

Just in case anyone is thinking that fuel tanks made with MGS epoxy will stand up to prolonged auto-gas / ethanol exposure, I'm here to tell you that they won't.

I'm in the process of removing and replacing the inner skins in both fuel tanks on my Cozy IV.

See http://forum.canardaviation.com/showthread.php?t=4594 for a detailed report and pictures. I'll post more pictures on my web site when the repair job is complete.
