I bought the plans also and my attempt at making the fiberglass tank wasnot very successful. I have someone that will build me an aluminum tankfor the cost of materials. That is why I am inquiring about aluminum tankplans.Thanks,Bart>> Hi> I brought the plans for a fibreglass tank from Kerri-Ann Price they are> very good and the tank should be quite a bit lighter just do a search on> the name and you will find it.> Carson>>> Read this topic online here:>> http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 4285#204285>>=0A=0A=0A ________________________________________________________________________________

Harvey:A great majority of epoxies and polyesters suffer degradation when in contact with modern ethanol blends. But the key to building a composite fuel tank that is compatible with todays etahnol blend fuels is to use vinylester resin as this is impervious to alcohols. It is also a litle more tolerant of deviations in mix proportions and thus a bit easier to use. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/c ... phpMichael in Maine ----- Original Message -----
