Have a boat to woark on with a fiberglass fuel tank.. I tthink I remember reading that ethanol is especially corrosive to the resins fiberglass tanks are made from. Is this correct or do I just remember part of an old ethanol ranr

Is it safe to use if there are no leaks? I will test it according to a thread I have seen here.

Do you have access to non-ethanol fuel? That's all I ever put in my boat. There are plenty of stations near me and the lakes I frequent. Finding it is no problem at all. www.pure-gas.org should tell you what's around.
