Por15. Yup, I've tried it once before, but with limited success -it peeled away from the inside of the tank, broke up & clogged the fuel tap. Definitely needs rigorous preparation to make sure it bonds properly. They sell a seperate cleaning/prep agent now. Got good reviews.

in the past I`ve used petseal. They use it in the states a lot so that should be ok for ethanol.

The old petseal is dissolved by ethanol (pre 2010). Total unleaded has no ethanol as yet and most other makes have less that 5%. Super unleaded has no ethanol as yet either. There are a few new versions of ethanol resistant tank sealants, petseal included, and you can get removal fluid to get the old stuff out. It will become a real nightmare as word has it that any vehicle over 10 years old will suffer problems when 10% becomes the norm with fuel lines, filters, some neoprene seals and viton tipped float needles. Fibreglass fuel cells and tanks, plastic carb floats etc. The list goes on. The crazy thing is that to produce bio ethanol, vast acreage is used to grow the plants from which this stuff is made making us and the rest of Europe less able to be self sufficient in basic grain and root crops. Madness in my view. It also pollutes more as there are yet more additives needed to make the resultant fuel stable. If that were not enough its hydroscopic as well. It absorbs moisture and then deposits it at the bottom of your tank causing that to rot out as well. Apart from that its a brilliant idea!! NOT. Rant over. Where are my pills?  Forgot to mention that the American ethanol based fuels are different to what is proposed over here. |

My day off today, but no Pop progress -drove down to the South Coast to take some flowers to me Mum for her birthday.
Managed to combine it with a stop off at Triker Pete's place in Lymington to deliver some bike parts, plus collecting a Landrover windscreen for the Pop from a guy in Romsey. So sorta auto related.

 22 quid, second hand Defender screen, courtesy of That Ebay Place. Hoping to get it cut down to fit the Pop locally. Frank -maybe that's what we should call it! Somebody suggested "Mr Boombastic" recently, which I kinda like too.
