REFLECTOR: Simple Sump tank question

[Andrew Ellzey]

Jack,

What the manual is telling you to do, is to paint the outside with your 
structural epoxy that came with your kit, with several coats until very 
shiny. I didn't have any Jeffco when I built my sump tank, so I just 
followed the manual. I did use Jeffco in my strakes. I don't ever intend to 
use auto fuel, so I'm not worried about ethanol working on the epoxy in my 
sump tank.
