Ethanol-poisoned gasoline has reportedly ruined hundreds (maybe more) of boat plastic/fiberglass fuel tanks and taken the engines down with them. I would be VERY leery of plastic fuel tanks unless proven to be immune to deterioration by ethanol-added gasoline.

Subject: [GMCnet] New plastic gas tanks needed
We have a perfectly good 1973 GMC we rebuilt to perfection... 10 years ago... We made it mechanically sound. I removed and coated both rusted gas tanks. That lasted a few years. Now they leak again. If I fill them, the engine runs fine but then leaks all over.
It is a dang shame to have a good GMC motorhome sitting in the barn not able to even be driven into town.
Does anyone have a source yet of reasonable priced replacement bolt in tanks? $ 500.00 is not reasonable. Plastic preferred?
