Default Re: Running with Ethanol fuel

Tin - you've got a poly tank in your boat. You don't have to worry . . . Only a few highend boat manufacturers used fiberglass tanks (Like Cabo, Bertram, etc.) . . . I'm still suspicious . . . of these peoples claims.

Can someone explain how Alcohol breaks down fiberglass resin? What materials changed in 1991 that makes newer fiberglass tanks immune? I want a scientific explanation . . . and I can't find one anywhere . . . #!@#

I wonder if it's the wax additive in polyester resin.
