Hi all,
A friend of mine has fitted new tip tanks to his RV 6 and has found that the ethanol in mogas has caused drain valve seals to shrivel up and the sloshing compound used in the tanks to start to come apart. Has anyone any suggestions for a tank sealant that would be usable with (ethanol) Mogas?

regards
