Hello Gregg:

You probably already got the answer to your need. But according to your company I assume that what you are looking for has to deal with resistance to corrosion or to other degradation problem asociated with fuels. If this is correct you should also look to electroless nickel technologies. Specifically, I saw several applications in this field some three years ago. Refer to Surface Technology, Inc., Trenton, NJ. You should not have trouble.
