I understand that ethanol and polyester resin based fiberglass tanks don't get along. What about epoxy based fiberglass tanks?

Belay my last, I found the answer in a Gougen Bros (West Systems) report. Basically, they say it is okay if no alcohol is present in the gasoline. In other words no ethanol.

hence the reason most manufacturers switch to welded aluminum tanks or rotationally molded cross-linked polyurethane tanks
