A member of our club had a similar problem last year. He discovered that the ethanol was dissolving the gas tank sealer, which had been applied many years ago. Apparently it was not made to be alcohol resistant, although nowadays some of it is (Bill Hirsch brand). The solution for him was to change to premium gas, which in our area does not contain ethanol.
