96 SCARAB 26
What fuel tank do I have 1996 26ft scarab

I was wondering if anyone knew right off the top of their head if the 96 has a fiberglass fuel tank. I just read an article in the new hotboat magazine that said the fiberglass tanks in older boats are really having problems with the new ethanol fuels. Any other information on this subject would be appreciated

It is definetly an aluminum tank, I had to drill and tap a -8 fitting in the top of mine for a fuel return line.
