No matter what you use for your fuel tanks, Ethanol is bad news for your fuel system. ?If your tanks are glass, no matter what kind of resin you use, Ethanol will disolve it in fairly short order. ?If you're not using ethanol, almost any resin will work well. ?The tanks in my KR were built using Safe-T-Poxy 18 years ago, then sloshed with an alcohol resistant sloshing compound. ?The tanks in my KR have been in continual service for 16 1/2 years now and 1000 hours of flying time with no issues.
I have always used alcohol free Mogas when it was available, and for the last year, I have been running a mixture of 80% Mogas and 20% 100LL. ?My KR is old enough that I even ran a tank or two of 80 Octane red Avgas through it before it bacame unavailable. -Jeff Scott Los Alamos, NM > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Timothy Witmer > Sent: 11/16/13 07:01 PM > To: KRnet > Subject: Re: KR> Vinyl ester for fuel tanks > > Pure-gas.org/ has hundreds of gas stations by states with pure gas > .... !!!!
