Subject: | Europa fuel tank - LDPE or HDPE? |
Would anyone know which it is? (I think I had heard LDPE)
I am asking because I am about to spend some money getting my still
uninstalled tank Fluorinated or Re-Fluorinated - since I cannot be sure to
what level it was done by the Europa factory (if it was done at all back in
2000) and I wish to avoid the swelling and cracking problems some are seeing
in service.
I am choosing to Fluorinate to the same level (AL) as the auto
industry (by Fluoro-Seal
International LP)
Thanks in advance,
Pete

my kit is from 2000 as well, and i asked the factory (before the merger)
back in 2008 if my tank fell into the post non fluorinated time frame, and
they
responded this after i indicated the desire to purchase a new fluorinated
tank. so based on what i was told i would believe yours should be ok. If its
not
much cost involved the second treatment would probably be a good investment.

craig

Introduction of fluorination was in April 1997:
http://www.sarangan.org/www/mhonarc/mharc/html//europa-list/1997-08/msg00096.html
I have assumed that my tank from the year 2000 was treated and did not
repeat it. In any case any spilt epoxy bonds to it extremely well (as
well as to itself) - which is supposed to be a side effect of fluorination.

Subject: | Fwd: Ethanol free Gas stations in Tennessee |
To all our Canadian & American Europa flyers. Here is a site that
shows non ethanol gas stations. Just click on your state or
providence. There must be more thats not on this list as we have a
local one here not on it but this is a good start. I would suggest you
sign the petition to keep the non ethanol gas flowing.
Regards,
