Bob,

This is the info I got, I hope this helps.

Geney

Geney, the tank specifications were changed in 1985-86 to incorporate the use of ethanol in fuel. We have no other info other than what is available on the internet. Bertram is not producing new tanks as replacements. As far as the question of whether the tanks need to be replaced or not, I have heard that it is true.

I will try to post the e mail the Bill D is refering to but it is long but interesting.
