Ah. It really is in how you ask the question. I didn't see a question
asking for a recommendation. Lots of guys jumped on my reply, apparently
thinking I was recommending polyester resin. I only answered that it

OK, a good friend of mine (Jim Davis) has a Cherokee 235, with the original
polyester tanks. He had an autogas STC, and unfortunately put in autogas that
had alcohol. It dissolved the material in the tanks. No Polyester is not
something anyone should put in an aircraft if there is any chance
Maybe the question should not be whether polyester is useable for a gasoline
tank, but which one works "best". Back when I researched fuel tank resins I
read that vinylester was practically designed to be resistant to gasoline
and it's additives, as well as other chemicals that were difficult t

But thanks also Scott. I have flown many a Cherokee and never knew their
wingtip tanks were Polyester. I simply asked because the Vinylester seems to

Can anyone tell me if Polyester will work on a fuel tank application? Or is
