With our UK fuel now getting more percentage of Ethanol in it, I am worried about it's effect on the lay up of the tank. I am aware of what resin I would use if I were making a tank today having made quite a few of them at WCS, but am asking if anyone can recommend a treatment for an old tank that will withstand the current fuel. My own tank was flow coated with a 50/50 mix of gel coat and lay up ( polyester ) resin and appears to be ok so far. All the problems that I encountered with old tanks leaking was due to then not being flow coated, and too thin a lay up. I manufactured all of Sammy Miller's tanks for five years and only had one returned via Sam due to some kind gent using pure Methanol in it, and blaming me for the smallpox look that it had developed. I have heard of Kreem, so can anyone advise me about it. If an answer is not forthcomming, I can see a large surge in the manufacture of alloy replacement tanks for all us special types.
