I hate ethanol fuel Options

[Amphicar770]

Pulled my fuel tank in preparation for new lines.

Although car is essentially rust free, I was surprised at how much visible rust was inside the tank.

I debated if I should have it sealed or just cleaned out. Seems that people have had mixed results with the various sealant kits, the problem being that some peel when exposed to ethanol fuels.

I took the tank to a radiator shop in NJ that is well respected. They also offer the gastank renu service. The plan was to just clean it out and then go from there.

While tank looked good, after cleaning we discovered that it does indeed have some small leaks. I guess that explains the fuel smell that I was never able to pinpoint.

So, it will now get the full gastank renu service. http://www.gastankrenu.com/ Most reviews are positive and I figure it will be better than any DIY kit I might buy. They will leave the exterior top of the tank in primer and I will paint that satin black (as the texture of the exterior gastankrenu treatment does not look factory).

I do try to avoid ethanol fuel but the nearest station that sells pure gas is 60 miles away (thanks to EPA rules created by the farm lobby). To date I have personally seen ethanol fuel destroy the fuel pumps in my Jaguar, gas tank in the Porsche, and carb parts in other vehicles.

I'm going through this now with my tank, the PO has it coated with POR-15 and I pulled the tank to replace the lines and found this...

my tank is currently with these guys getting striped and cleaned and they also have a coating process and I have chosen not to have it coated.

I assume you mean you are not having the inside coated? That was my original intention but given the pinhole leaks I did not really have a choice.

You can find ethanol free stations here.

Some states do not have ethanol free gas at all. It is driven by EPA rules based on proximity to major metro areas. Ironically, it is available in almost all rural / agricultural areas as farmers who produce the stuff do not want it ruining their expensive farm equipment.

It is expensive, but for those who do not use their 914 often and can not get ethanol free pump gas, Lowes and Home Depot sell ethanol free in quart containers in the garden section.
