What is this a BOAT THREAD?

Good stuff all around. The reason I ask about fuel cells is this:

The Formula Ford owners share a common warehouse for their cars and pool their resources. Last year they bought like 25 gallons of 100 octane from 76 ($6 a gallon). Of about 12 cars 5 or 6 had damaged fuel cells immediatly after ward. The internal 'foam like stuff' in the tanks deteriorated and plugged up filters like crazy. Most everyone replaced their fuel cells ($$$$).

OLD fuel cells perhaps? Was alcohol used in the 100 octane to boost it's rating? We never found out WHAT the problem was. Gasoline is locally refined here in the Islands, only crude is shipped in.
