Yes, some internet reading has suggested that the ethanol in gas is destructive to polyester.

Seams

Put everything back together and put gas in the tank. Still leaks, must be more pinholes and along the seam. Will have to buy tank liner epoxy. Even though it was leaking, I took it around the block. Starts and idles well but hesitates during acceleration, but then it wasn't warmed up yet.

If the leaks are at the seams I have used super glue in the seams (fuel even E-10 won't touch it).
Don't have to use much, just enough to cover the areas you think or find have pin holes.
Make sure the tank is clean and dry before using super glue and expect to see a little tiny bit come out the pin holes.

Crazy glue. Who would have thought?

Crazy

expensive if you use a bunch but you should not need to.
