TitaniumTT's I hope I make it to DGRR '09 Build

Not to mention 3

Although, only one motor can be directly attributed to ethanol. And luckily it was only 2 Apex seals that got fragged. Although after everything was said and done it's still ~$700 to rebuild it. Are you logging Fuel Pressure Scott?

For sure. I guess I'll have to wait and see. I'll PM you the info on my tank when I pick it up and some pics of the surge tank I made.

I tested a chunk of it before he did the tank for me. Took 3 pieces, left one in 50/50water/meth, one in 100% meth and another in gas...just because. The 50/50 piece didn't degrade quickly, but still turned a milky colour after 3 months. The 100% turned whiteish in a matter of days, the gas one is still unaffected.

I wanted an idea of what I could run for AI with these tests, and those were my findings. The meth/alcohol absolutely breaks down the "common" materials used to line tanks. High percentages of ethanol would do the same thing I'd imagine.

Ah crap, mine's red too

It seems that the ethanol breaks the crap down, just at a really REALLY slow rate. Like 3-5 years but it still seems to happen. Starting this year is when all the tanks in the marine world starting needing it.
