Re: [AMC-List] Globs in the fuel caused by ethanol dissolving fiberglass gel coat

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

Also, it's very unlikely that any recent street car would have a 
fiberglass gas tank from the factory. Gas tanks are supposed to stay 
intact in crashes (which is most likely why the OEM's are using plastic 
tanks now) and I just don't see how a fiberglass tank would hold up.
