    Hi there,
    my first post in the forum.
    Does anyone have any first hand experience of the damage caused by the high levels of ethanol in fuels?  Stories abound of it eating fibreglass petrol tanks and fuel seals…

    Cheers
    Nigel

    I cant give you any specific kowledge on this, but you do need to be careful. What bike are you running with this fuel?

    In the meantime welcome to the forum. This link will help you look around

    I have no personal experience of the problem, but an internet search shows mixed views and is further complicated by using either resin or epoxy based materials. My view would be if in doubt dont risk the potential damage caused not just to the tank but also to the fuel system components from disolved resins migrating throughout the system. Welcome to the forum, how about giving a bit of info on your biking CV.
