Well according to several listees on another list and Boat US reports and at least two insurance company's the ethanol attacks the resin, softens it up and you now leak all over.This started with the gasoline , and older vessels (like mine) Particularly in the NE and Cal coasts. Bertrams Hattaras's, some Chris's . When you talk diesel a lot of sailboats have built in fiberglass tanks.Carl Hibbard
