I have a Kitfox with older foberglass tanks that are not ehhanol resistant and have been OK using ethanol free auto gas treated with Sea Foam. Some of the gas sits for several months without obvious problems in terms of gumming up carbs. ( Phase seperation - Settleout is a different issue) Ethanol free gas is available at lots of marinas in our part of Florida, and has been available in Maryland in counties out side of the big city smog corridor as an aside.
