Title: Coating my gas tank to use E85/Alcohol
Post by: Fiatdude on November 14, 2011, 04:13:07 am
OK -- I'm really hung up on getting E85 to work in Ovalholio -- BUT with the little set back of the tank rusting (above the fuel level) after setting for a week or two, I've been looking around for an ALCOHOL RESISTANT coating for the tank -- I've found this stuff

BILL HIRSCH ALCOHOL/ ETHANOL RESISTANT GAS TANK SEALER (RED LABEL)

Anybody have anything better or any recommendations?????

I just checked my tank...light rust just above the fuel level. Obviously not a good sign.
This looks like a good excuse to buy one of those 12 gal. tanks from empi. That Bill Hirsch
Co. has been around for at least 40 years that I know of, and I guess I'll be trading dollars
with them too.

Small price to pay to run E85 w/Comp E's @ 14-1  ;D
