The last auto-x I was at there was an 8 that said he did like 130 or 150 on the dyno and thought that to be low........ I thought so too. I'll def be updating this thread when the time comes. It'll be a saturday too, that much I do know. Maybe mid-late August at this point.... dunno. We'll see what happens.

I have no idea what the product was. I took it to a local radiator/machine shop and they took care of the whole thing. I'm positive it's the ethanol that's breaking it down. Most everyone that I know with a fiberglass tank is replacing it with plastic or Aluminum. I've even heard from Tim Marren that the ethanol is breaking down the plastic fuel cells and releasing the "sand" they use to help mold the things. Metal seems to be the only safe bet now.
I know it's the ethanol because at one point I dropped the tank. Cleaned all the fuel out. Whiped the tank down with a paper towel and it came back clean. I poured some gas in, sloshed it around and whiped again, still NOTHING. A few weeks later I have filters clogged with sludge after I found NOTHING in the tank. Fucking ethanol. I would talk to the guy that coated the thing and see if he's had ANY complaints about it, and I'd also be curious how long he's been using it. Seems to take a few years for the shit to start breaking down the epoxy. Unless some other rank chemical was added recently that I'm unaware of. I'm no chemist, but from my experience, the ethanol seems to be the beast.
