The guy who played with the MEK in my tank then re-sloshed it with the
alchohol-tolerant stuff says that it sticks real good.  He also builds
race cars and uses the same compound for tanks containing some exotic
fuels.  After half a year I've seen no residue in the tank finger
strainers or the gascolator.
