Don't burn ethanol in your boat

I read several posts in other forums about ethanol eating up the fiberglass fuel tanks in boats . http://articles.latimes.com/2008/apr...ness/fi-boat15

Fiberglass fuel tanks? I've never heard of such a thing.

I know a few boaters up here that had nothing but issues after the ethanol switch. From the fiberglass resin problem to the additional corrosion from the water ethanol attracts. A major amount of money got spent on repairs.
