Andy Sylvester answered this question on April 28, 2009, and his
response follows:
"I emailed Jabiru on seeing this question and received a reply that
it is, in
fact KREEM that they use in their tanks. The previous sealant was 3M
EC776
with the amber colour but clearly this is less tolerant of alcohol."

Hi Lynn,
Kreem Weiss is what Flight Design uses in all their tanks and have beens for years.
People use up to 22% ethanol in them without any issues. It is pretty much
impervious to any liquids we would come into contact with as a pilot.

Kreem (what is the "Weiss" part of the name?) is what I coated my
tanks with back in 2005, and it is still going strong....on 100LL.
