From: "James, Clive R" Metal tanks is a good solution Nick, not an option for a Jabiru wing tank though. Good point about the 'other' additives and any alcohol proof sloshing sealer. Have you considered a 'polythene' type moulded solution for the tank material? (not sure what they are actually made of).

Auto fuel is an option with unleaded 93 or 98 octane fuel available. Fortunately down-under the prominence of alcohol additive hasn't had the same market penetration as it has in the US, for a range of reasons, the least of which being the lower calorific output of alcohol versus mineral fuels. Not to say we haven't had our share of questionable additives such an benzene and a few others who's names I struggle with. Always appreciate your input on these important matters and trust you're back to health.
