ALKY and Aluminum tank.
blown86hallet June 25th 2013, 12:23 pm
what affects does alky have on aluminum fuel cells? anything?
Can the fuel be left in the tank for weeks, or does it need to be drained right away?
I hear hard anodizing the inside of the tank will help?
any info would be great.

I have found some other forums where guys will leave fuel in their raw aluminum tanks for weeks and never have a problem...
I do find that hard to believe.?
The longest i'll leave it in will be 5-7 days. (i will be more worried about moisture.)
I will have the additive added to the fuel, and hard anodize the tank. From what i'm reading i'll be safe for what i'm trying to do...

If you driving a ecooboost i call bullshit, cel would have saved me.
btw, anodize the tank it will look cooler and put to rest all your concerns.
Mike says hi.

Where can I find out more about a fuel additive that will anodize the tank?

The cell in my car is plain aluminum. No Anodizing or coating. I drain it when the car is put up for the winter. 9 months of the year it has alky in it. No issues with corrosion. I do keep the cell full in the garage and if it sits for more than a couple of weeks I emoved the line from the vent and cap it.
I also use a top lube. Klotz Uplon synthetic. Mix is at about 2/3 the rate on the the bottle. 2/3 qt per drum of fuel.

anodizing is a chemical process, I think he was making two statements, having the tank anodized and using top lube.
