Re: fiberglass tank
I wish I have knowledge on this.
I believe fabres are held together with some form of epoxy. Not sure how this compound reacts with methanol long term. Make you life easier, use a plastic tank with a known material.

Re: fiberglass tank
Thanks,
I'm mounting a red petrol plastic tank (5litre) ATM now about metals, I know aluminium is out of question, but is there any other metal that would cope with methanol ? stainless steel ? Last edited by zakshaker; 23-10-2010 at 04:19 PM. |

Re: fiberglass tank
Stainless 304, 316 will be good.

Re: fiberglass tank
that's good news
I might design my own stainless tank later then the tricky side will be the cap system which foam could be used ? Last edited by zakshaker; 25-10-2010 at 12:07 AM. |

Re: fiberglass tank
Hows the in cabin noise of the pump?
I guess you hardly hear it as the exhaust muffles it. |

Re: fiberglass tank
as you said, I don't hear anything cause of the direct exhaust pipe.
I would guess with normal exhaust and back seat fitted, it shouldn't be very noticable. should be about the same as your fuel pump but lower frequency |
