Use Rhino 9700 as tank coating to protect glass from ethanol/fuel and use
polysulphide to seal alum end plate to glass at wing root.

1. 11:22 PM - FUEL TANK SEALANTS. (mjb777)

Subject: FUEL TANK SEALANTS.
From: "mjb777" <mattbrock777(at)gmail.com>
Hi all,
I recall some time ago there was discussion on the forum regarding tank
sealants,
ethanol etc. in fiberglass tanks.
Did anyone end up doing some samples and immersing them in mogas/ ethanol for
some
time?
Has anyone inspected their tanks and found degradation or hopefully no
degradation,
and which sealants was that with?
Seems there are few manufacturers who will just plainly say "Ethanol
resistant",
so it all seems a stab in the dark?
I may be able to get non ethanol blended fuels most of the time in the sunny
country,
but I'm guessing not all the time, and I am sure that there will be
contamination
even when buying non "E" fuel due to quality control.
Regards, Matt.

Sent a long email out on this some time ago but here is a summary of what I have found.
Rhino 9700 is NOT a fuel tank sealant It is a high quality cement paint that Rhino has not tested for resistance to ethanol. ..... nor has Aircraft Spruce. Rhino bought the company that made it at the time I built my plane,,, kept the same # - - - - 9700. Rhino does not mention, for good reason , any fuel tank sealing applications nor aircraft in any way.
BUT it is the best we have available. However it almost all was dissolved from the inside of my fuel cells after 12 yrs.
I used it when I resealed my tanks. I keep a sample panel painted with it in a jar of mogas. Shake it up every time I fly. When it costing on the sample starts to disappear I'll recoat my cells.
I got mine from Lancair wwhich sells it in one gallon lots.
There is some belief that a baked prepeged panel is resistant to ethanol. If so, in the XP wing, the only thing you have worry about is the far end of the cell.
