A lot of aircraft fuel tanks are made of aluminum with brass connections. They have been working for years with the 100LL av-gas which is much drier (as in lubricating properties) than the fuel we use in our cars.
I have no qualms about using these materials in auto gasoline.
Have a great 4th!
Thanks, I was curious more than anything..
