Yes I do.  They seem pretty clean, as well as the gascolator.  I know there have been and can be problems, but supposedly the resin used was a special formulation to be most impervious to fuels.  It is by Dupont and similar to Derakane vinyl ester resin.

The mogas should not gum up your carbs. Does it contain ethanol?

You are probably aware that pur gas .com (google it and the correct url

will come up) lists some ethanol free gas stations by state.



I have a Kitfox with older foberglass tanks that are not ehhanol resistant

and have been OK using ethanol free auto gas treated with Sea Foam. Some

of the gas sits for several months without obvious problems in terms of

gumming up carbs. ( Phase seperation - Settleout is a different issue)



Ethanol free gas is available at lots of marinas in our part of Florida,

and has been available in Maryland in counties out side of the big city

smog corridor as an aside.

Keep in mind that Seafoam contains alcohol. Other products such as Sta-bil  do not.

SeaFoam is exactly what it is - A foamy conglomeration of nothing.It does nothing.

It is worth 10 times nothing.

And there ain't no mechanics in a can.

A fool and their money will so be parted.
