In Response To: Re: Ethanol--Here to Stay (craig mac)

That's going to be the fun part. I read in one of Harv's attachments that fuel storage of large quantities in fiberglass tanks constructed in 1990 or before create the same sort of problems we are having. When I mentioned that to my marina that spent BIG bucks to have compliant fuel tanks put in back then, his eyes bugged out...as should many of our local gas stations that went $100,000+ to have their storage tanks changed. At that time they were told fiberglass tanks were the "forever" solution. The delivery truck tanks seem to be stainless. The best is yet to come on this issue, but that doesn't help any of us on deciding what to do for the 2006 season. Walter
