more ethanol woes

[GWright6970]

Tom, Thank you very much for taking the time to write up your "ethanol removal" technique. That is very interesting!

Roberto, out here in California, the Land of No Common Sense, has listed only a handful of non-ethanol gas options, all way up near the northwest corner of the state near Oregon.... figures. Nice to know though!

I am at that point where I'm having to decide to either start placing fabric over the old style tanks; or remove the old style tanks, and replace them with the new up to 10% ethanol resistant tanks BEFORE closing them up. I still have a few more weeks to go before having to make that decision.... I am leaning strongly toward the full replacement. Add to this, we have no idea what 100LL will be replaced by anyway... so if I just replace them now, and put in a 912UL... less problems in the future...?

Ethanol when it goes through it's phase separation will eventually eat through aluminum tanks also. Satinless Steel it the only common metal that it has no effect on.

Easier now than later. At least it will buy you peace of mind.
