Professor tests ethanol effects on fiberglass tanks....

Post by IRGuy »

In the most recent issue of "Power and Motoryacht" magazine (Dec 08) there is a brief writeup on a UNH professor's tests of the effects of ethanol on fiberglass fuel tanks, and the associated damage to engines. (Pages 40 and 41).

One interesting point is that he has found problems only in tanks made before 1980.

Did the professor use his coconut radio to conduct the tests?

(sorry I just couldn't help myself)
