I am sorry, I am new to this...
I am undecided as to the engine for my 3500 as yet. Since I may be able to use both avgas and auto fuel is there an issue re: fuel tank sealant? I have heard that some Pro-Seal will not stand up to auto fuel. Thank you.

Goody!?

Not a problem with auto-fuel and proseal (sealpack, PRC etc). It is the different sloshing compounds that people have used to fix leaking tanks, with some that are not impervious to alcohol (that more and more auto fuel is getting watered down with). Don't slosh and there won't be a problem! Sloshing is just a way of delaying a bigger problem than you had in the first place!
