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 A239 Ottawa Canada ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:12:47 PM PST US From: "craig bastin" Subject: RE: Europa-List: Europa fuel tank - LDPE or HDPE? 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. regards craig -----Original Message----- From: owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-europa-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Peter Zutrauen Sent: Saturday, December 11, 2010 4:43 AM To: europa-list@matronics.com Subject: Europa-List: Europa fuel tank - LDPE or HDPE?

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.

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, Jeff R.
