Default Failure of Gas Tank Sealants in the US

Hi Jim

Failure of Gas Tank Sealants in the US often related to our E10 gasoline. Jim raises a very good point about the white gas tank sealant as sold by Por 15 and others, having been observed to fail do to the age of the tank sealant and introduction of Ethanol containing fuel sold in the US are at least anecdotally responsible for fuel tank sealant failure.

I wonder how often these failures are the result of a less than perfect treatment of the tank or a tank design that just did not let the coating cover every surface in the tank evenly?

Jim how long as the RED-KOTEŽ been in the tanks you mention?

Cheers Phil
