I can't belive this has not become a bigger issue than it has. Talking with a friend of mine from Quincy Ma this is a huge issue because of the number of boats in the area with fiberglass fuel tanks. I'm told that the ethanol in the fuel eats away at the fiberglass tanks and doing serious damage to boats. And correct me if I'm wrong but gas stations underground fuel tanks are made of fiberglass at least the outer shell of the tank is. Could anyone share more information on this subject. Thanks
