BoatU.S. Magazine January 2006, page 7....
"Ethanol Suspect in Older Fiberglass Gas Tanks"

The article supports all the complaints I've read on this site regarding the ethanol problem you have in the NE. The article states, "The investigation is ongoing, but it appears that 10% ethanol gasoline... may be attacking the resins used in older fiberglass gas tanks. These tanks were standard equipment on some Hatteras and Bertram models and may be present on other boats of the same era."

The article includes a contact to report problems to BoatU.S. at cfort@boatus.com.
