In 1992 I sealed my MGA fuel tank with a POR-15 product. The car was was finally on the road in 2005. I drove for about 5000 miles with no problems. On a trip to PA in '08 I got some 10% ethanol fuel

They're selling something as "gas tank sealer" which is not compatible with gasoline. That's pretty sleazy. (And, in some states, will run afoul of the implied warranty of merchantability, leaving th

So if it claimed "not compatible with toluene", you'd be okay with that? Even though it's impossible to buy gasoline that doesn't contain toluene? Since, after all, toluene isn't gasoline. -- David S
