I have '71 Whaler with a Pate Tank. Is it Plastic or Fibreglass? If it is fibreglass I have to replace it because of the new ethanol gas.

Pate's prior to about '98 or '99 have problems with Ethanol
gas. Pate says that tanks since then will be OK. See

I suggest you contact the manufacturer of your fuel tank for advice and recommendations on how to proceed. The manufacturer will be able to give you details about the materials used in the fabrication of their fuel tank and how they will react to gasoline which has been diluted with ethanol.
