In Response To: Any ethanol news? (Dave Decker)

Dave- I have diesels in my B-31 and have no problems with my fiberglass tanks. On the other hand, my B-20 is gas, and the "little" problems that I thought were kinks from the previous owners possible poor maintenance seems to be the result of our NY State Ethanol useage. I have to either replace my tank with aluminum or go to diesel myself. Randy has had it with his 25, and Bob Fiorese may have that as the reason for his engine problems this season. I know there's another B-31 in Montauk that has pulled his tank. If you can afford the jump to diesel, you won't be sorry in the long run. There are no diffinitive answers from anyone, but all the various posts on this subject tell me that even if I stay with gas on my B-20, I won't risk a new engine without a new tank albiet I don't like aluminum either. Walter
