REFLECTOR: EZ poxy & ethanol

[Peter Braswell]

Larry,
Point taken.  I would certainly then trust the folks that have had first
hand experience with EZ poxy at it relates to use with ethanol.  I do not
and probably shouldn't have offered what is essentially just my opinion.

If I mis-spoke, I do apologize. :)

Best,
Peter
