Author Message   Dave_02_1200 Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 07:32 pm:        There have been reports of ethanol in gasoline damaging fiberglass fuel tanks in boats. It seems to affect the polyester resin used in many fiberglass fuel tanks more than epoxy resin. Has this been a problem on fiberglass fuel tanks on early Buells?   Gowindward Posted on Monday, May 18, 2009 - 07:55 pm:        The fuel tanks are not fiberglass, just the fuel tank cover is fiberglass.   Dave_02_1200 Posted on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - 10:49 am:        Glad to know that. I was concerned because I didn't know that the fiberglass was a cover over a plastic tank. One less reason to put off looking for an S2.... Thanks, Dave   Hotrats Posted on Sunday, May 24, 2009 - 06:35 am:        there has been a problem with some of the early fiberglass (rs/rss) tanked buells. don't know if gas or age related.
