    The top of the alky reservoir in my car is yellowing in a few spots. Is there a way to "whiten" those areas? Or... is there a cover we could put on it similar to the TTA's? Thanks for any tips. Paul

    I dont know. The factory tanks are polyethylene. And like all plastics.. subject to degrade over time(ozone, heat, temperature, etc). Just go to any junkyard and look at plastic reservoirs and how they all change colors over the years. I dont think its the methanol, just the plastic degrading.

    Will bleaching it fix it?? Dont know.

    Let us know if it works for you.
