How do I find out about ethanol additives and its effects on fiberglass gas tanks? I recently purchased a 24 gal.fiberglass tank for my Whaler and have heard a warning about deterioration from the new gas regarding the tank and my outboard. :eek:

Howdy, Montauk.<br /><br />Do a search in the Outboard Non-repair forum for "ethanol". Better get a cuppajoe before you start. :)

Re: Ethanol gas additive

If you are talking "fiberglass" that's one issue. If you are talking about a plastic tank that's another. In the midwest we've used ethanol blended fuel for years with no plastic tank problems.
