Hey guys thanks for the input on the fiberglass tanks,I've decided I'll buy new tanks from John at Kitfox.I did talk to one more kitfox owner off the list who has the Skystar 13 gal factory Kreem coated tanks and after more then eight years with auto fuel no problems.Now for you auto fuel burners like me I did the EAA glass jar watermark test today and what a surprise.In 1998 I did this test and the winners were.Amoco,Marathon,Mobile,Union 76.The worse was Sonoco.Today here in Carleton,Mi I tested Mobile,Marathon,BP,Shell,Speedway,Citco.Only Mobile remained clear fuel and clear water with no rise in the water mark hands down my choice for fuel.Shell comes in my next choice,clear fuel but cloudy water no rise,my old favorite Marathon fuel turned cloudy,the water turned cloudy no rise in water.Speedway not so good,cloudy fuel, very cloudy water.BP didn't do so well,cloudy fuel and water and the water mark rose very slightly.The fuel from south America was bad,Citco fuel was cloudy,the water was very cloudy,and the water mark rose noticably.Fly safe Cliff

Cliff,
This is what I call an informative post. It has research, fact's, and good information that we might all use. It might even give that little boost for each of us to check our local fuels.
Good Job

The EAA is lobbying to keep ethanol out of the high test gas altogether for us aviators - but only in the high octane premium stuff.
It was in the Dec issue of SportFlying.
