MTBE to Ethanol additive change-over ..PROBLEMS
 

although this affects mainly boats, I thought I'd cross post this here
in case any of you have a fiberglass fuel tank.

There are great 'problems' showing up due to the 'changeover' of
gasoline addives - MTBE to Ethanol: Fiberglass fuel tanks dissolving
and leaking, harmful destructive deposits formed inside engines, etc.
About half the USA states have already banned MTBE additive and are
rapidly changing over to an ethanol additive, the ethanol is quite
incompatible with most of the fiberglass resin used in fuel tanks. The
decomposition products of the 'melting/dissolving' resin doesnt burn
and will form vast and destructive deposits in the engine (similar to
putting sugar into the gasoline).

Yes I know but some of you may have applied retro glass tanks.
