Awright Lew,
Maybe marine gas is different from mogas these days?
I've had sevearl aircraft tanks built with epoxy fail.
But never a failure with Vinyl Ester.
Auto fuels these days have more solvents than gasoline.
And those solvents will leach through epoxy and polyester.
YMMV, but I'll stick with ve.
