Ethanol will eat up your fiberglass (epoxy) tanks also.

For gravity feed systems, make sure you check with engine running max 
rpm with the tail in as low a position as possible and minimum fuel 
in the tank.  Tail draggers, put the tail in a ditch or other 
depression and by all means, have the tail tied down.  The few inches 
of head pressure you have on the ground can quickly disappear on climbout.
