Ethanol Revisit

Ok I sell high tech stuff that could analyze this stuff. I need a piece of old Bertram gas tank. I will try to dissolve the tank part in ETOH and analyze the ETOH on a GC/MS. That stands for Gas Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer. It would do little good to run the goo or gas from a tank because gasoline is made up of hundreds of compounds. That would make it nearly impossible to identify which peak or peaks are coming from the dissolving fuel tank. If you really believe the tank is dissolving that fast. I need a piece of tank; a couple of square inches will do. I will put the tank piece in ETOH and set it aside for a week or so. I will take another piece and heat the ETOH to speed the process. If the tank is in fact dissolving I will get peaks in addition ETOH and C6H6. Benzene is a denaturing agent put in straight ETOH so I will not have to pay a liquor tax on the ETOH.
