In Response To: Re: Ethanol - New Thread (Matt K)

Not sure if this will make anyone feel any better but back in the early 80's when they were playing with ethanol in gas, my father in law has a boat with an aluminum tank that we would up draining because he was clogging fuel filters. We found what looked like diesal fuel or oil floating in little globs in the gas. I really think its the ethanol cleaning out the gunk. I also just read that aluminum tanks are not safe either since they claim the ethanol will etch the aluminum. Supposadly the etchings will pass throught the filters. All we can do is waite and see what happens to our tanks. Tony Meola
