Mogas (Clear 92 Octane Unleaded) does not hurt any type of Glass or Poly tanks. We carry and sell Mogas at the rate of several thousand Gal a Month. The people that burn it have every kind of handmade tank you can use and have never had a problem of any kind. The problem is ethanol whether you knew you had it or not. I have used it and stored it for 15 years in glass tanks in my spray business before we purchased this FBO 3 years ago and installed it here. We have never had a problem except one tank used by an associate that had ethanol in it for less than a month. [email protected]

Thanks for the info Jeff! Fred Johnson Reno, NV Jeff wrote: I thought I would write an update to this discussion we had in early October regarding polyester fuel tanks. Especially since I referenced the polyester tip tanks in the Cherokee 235 and Cherokee 6 aircraft as proof of success using polyester resin for fuel tanks. This week I have a Cherokee 235 in my shop and am rebuilding the tip tanks. The owner bought the Peterson Autogas STC 5 years ago and has been running Mogas in the these tanks for the last 5 years. The owner also states that he has carefully tested for alcohol every time he has purchased mogas to use in his plane, so these tanks have never been exposed to alcohol. _______________________________________ Search the KRnet Archives at http://www.maddyhome.com/krsrch/index.jsp to UNsubscribe from KRnet, send a message to [email protected] please see other KRnet info at http://www.krnet.org/info.html
