Hello Net, I just came from the archives and was unable to find a satisfactory answer to my question. My concern is just how safe are PVC fuel tanks.
I'm also a member of the FLY5K Yahoo list. There was a very active discussion there on just how long PVC would last as a fuel tank. A plastics engineer on that list contends that PVC will become soft over time and eventually fail as a fuel container. When I did a Google search on PVC and gasoline the data seemed to suggest that hydrocarbons are bad for PVC. My question, "Is PVC a suitable fuel tank material or not?" My concern is the stability of the PVC over time when used this way. Thanks in advance ... Denny --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - 250MB free storage. Do more.
