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.

SFWIW, I don't get on boats with gasoline propulsion, so my perspective
is probably skewed.

Since this is a 40 ft boat, doubt it has gasoline propulsion, so never
gave a gasoline tank a consideration; however, were your epoxy tanks
that failed properly coated with tank resin?

It makes a major difference.
