Epoxy coated fiberglass fuel tanks

in 912 / 914 Technical Questions 12 years ago
Has anyone had problems using Mogas 91-93 octane with 10% Ethanol in this type of fuel tank?

Phase separation and or cloged fuel filters, etc?

    If you use a product like Kreem Weiss for a tank coating it will be impervious to the ethanol? Fuel separation should not be an issue or a clogged filter unless your system isn't comparable with the ethanol fuel and parts flake and flow to the filter. Most of us use 91 oct. with ethanol. If your fuel system can handle the ethanol fuel then your far better off than using 100LL which will cause you some high dollar maint. Before TBO.
