Joe, My fuel tanks were constructed in just about exactly the same manner as Rob's, only a few years earlier, so were constructed with Safe-T-Poxy. There was lots of chatter at the time about epoxy resins not standing up to certain fuels, so I chose to slosh the tanks with an alcohol resistant

Rob, Is the only reason that you would not use the Vinyl ester because of the fumes? I have tanks in 357cj made of both vinyl ester and saf-t-poxy (I think I recall) The wing tanks are the vinyl ester and never been a problem with any and all types of fuel. But the header tank that I got from Ra

Joe, The fumes are the only real reason. When I built my fuel tank, the garage I was building it in was right below my bedroom. My wife was not pleased with the smell, and I didn't like it my either. It was a couple days before we could breath again. I am convinced West System will work with n

Joe, We primarily only use vinyl-ester now on the tanks we provide unless requested otherwise. We have also used Jeffco Epoxy (now Rhino) with good results. We have had a test sample sitting in Fuel with alcohol for several years at Richard Shirley's with no deterioration. All my personal tanks h

Thanks Steve, I don't know how many of the tanks like mine were produced or delivered but they will not stand up to the alcohol content of todays auto fuel. Glad to hear you have made the change from the Saf-t-poxy. .The tanks with the saf-T-poxy do not have any issue with fuels other wise, I ju

Has anyone used the "plastic" spring from a Pontiac van for landing gear? I know it is pretty heavy to start with. Can it be cut? Bill Weir This email has been sent from a virus-free computer protected by Avast. www.avast.com <#DDB4FAA8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF

I don't know that it was Safe-T-Poxy that was the problem, but most of the epoxy resins have issues with alcohol. My tanks are Safe-T-Poxy (although I built them) with a sloshed finish and have been in service for nearly 20 years now with no ill effects. At the time that I built them, what wa

I drug one home to cut on and see if it would work. ?It cuts about as easy as any thick fiberglass but the rubber bump stops are hard to get off. ?Never put it on a plane but I think it would work. Kevin Golden Harrisonville MO Streak Shadow Sent from Samsung Mobile. Original message

We now have a gram and gear at $350 at sets. $425 at set if you want them Cut to shape. If you want them faced from 1 inch to three quarters add another $25. If you would prefer, we can leave them at 26 inches instead of 24. Steve Glover Sent from my electronic leash. > On Feb 22, 2016, at 09
