GL: Re Ethynol and fiberglass tanks

[Jay Leonard]

Ethanol was in the marine gas last year in CT. Yes it
causes problems..at least one boat in our marina that
had fiberglass tanks had to have them removed and
replaced with al tanks.
Also the mechanics were overloaded all season
repairing outboards and replacing filters on the gas
inboards and I/Os. It was a mess for sure.
All seems "normal" now that the changeover is
complete.
Have fun.
Jay

A recent article in Passage Maker has made  me realize
that
the ethynol gasoline has probably made its way into
the
marina gas pumps. Anyone had a problem with their
fiberglass tanks and/or engines? Who is responsible
for
this nightmare.  I have fiberglass tanks and concerned
about the safety of the boat.  Capt. Mimi
