If you have a composite fuel tank and the fuel available in your area

ethanol fiberglass fuel tanks

We stopped runing mogas in our STC'ed pawnees when CA Dumped MTBE and
went to 10% ethanol a few years back, *Concern was more on the other
elements of the fuel system, I think the early Pawnee fuselage tank is
polyester.

I think you want to be concerned with Polyester resin based tanks.

Not a drop of mogas is ever going in my ASH-26E, for possible tank
problems with Ethanol and other reasons including engine cooling.

Polyester resin based composites have been used for underground mogas
storage tanks (gas stations) for decades. *Polyester and vinylester
are very chemical resistant.

Polyester based fiberglass tanks are exactly amongst those causing
concern with alcohol based fuels. You run it in your motorglider, I
won't in mine.
