Pro Seal will handle those.

Word of advise don't use tank sloshing sealant on your tanks. luckily most
of it is pealing off but what a mess. I also need to know if Pro seal will
hold up to car gas and ethanol. Some of the places I fly to don't always
have Avgas.

Hi Andrew

There's a lot of discussion in the mailing list archive about Pro-Seal,
Mogas and sloshing compound. I believe there are Proseal/Sealmaster
etc. compounds made especially for Mogas. Lots of discussion about
reasons to not use sloshing compound too.

You will probably find more info there than you will ever want to read
through ;-)

Cheers,

Dave,
Thanks, so far I'm 8 hours in to cleaning the tank and still more to go. I like to land at a lot of rivers were Avgas is unavailable but Mogas is.

Hi Andrew

There's a lot of discussion in the mailing list archive about Pro-Seal,
Mogas and sloshing compound.

PRC told me 20% alky won't hurt proseal and somewhat higher is OK. My
limit is 10%. Of course if it separates it may slowly eat the proseal
but the engine would also quickly stop. My rule is to have it gone
within a day or two. Usual caveats apply.

There are more sources of non alky fuel than some folks think. Marinas,
farm suppliers, premium fuel in some states, airnav.com, and the puregas
website.

Thanks Missouri has a state mandate that all gas has to have 10% Ethanol. I almost always have some Avgas in the tank when I need to use Mogas. Which helps a bunch I think.
