Great, now the alcohol eats up the resin and ruptures the tank, ethanol will etch thru aluminum and leak, SS fatigues and a monel tank cost more then the boat.

Maybe I'll just hang some sails from the outriggers and call it a day.

I would definetly have to say the ethanol is dissolving the crude from the tank as my tank was very clean when I got all the fuel out last year. But that does not let me know if it is still attacking the resins. guess I could just top it off and see if it bursts, then I would know.

Time to go kick myself.
