My Eastwood catalog does not specifically say ethanol rated; is that
listed online? They should be selling an ethanol rated sealer.
The biggest problem is the seam weld of the 2 tank halves; that is were a
leak can start.
I sealed my tanks almost 40 years ago and I see no problem with the sealer.
If you have OLD sealer and it looks and feels gummy or you can roll it off
with your finger then yes that sealer needs to be removed.
I also put a fuel filter in before the pump just in case there is a problem.

Thanks Ron. I wonder why Eastwood would bother with that other product!
Also, I guess that the sealer is only necessary when a tank is rusty (to
prevent further
damage). My tanks are not rusty at all so maybe I should not bother.
I have been warned to clean out the OLD tank sealer as it will break down
and clog
the fuel lines with current gasoline.
