If you have a composite fuel tank and the fuel available in your area
has ethanol in it then you should google something like the following... ethanol fiberglass fuel tanks There you will find out that the ethanol content appears to be a significant player in relatively rapid deterioration of the resin and therefore early failure of the fuel tank Looks like the boaters have been seriously affected by the E10 situation and if your motorized sailplane also has a composite tank it may be at risk of early failure. AVGAS probably doesn't have Ethanol added so if you have a composite fuel tank, it may be very wise to only use AVGAS even if autogas w/ 2 cycle mix is allowed. |
