Re: National Fuel Resources, Inc. ("NFR"), Leidy Hub,

Fuel Resources, Inc. ("NFR") and Leidy Hub, Inc. ("Leidy") in
connection with Post-Effective Amendment No. 6-8 to the

I am of the opinion that (i) Metscan, Inc. is validly
organized and duly existing under the laws of the State of New York,
(ii) Perfection Corporation is validly organized and duly existing
under the laws of the State of Delaware, and (iii) in the event the
proposed transactions are consummated in accordance with the filing
and with any Order of the Commission respecting the filing:
(a) All state laws that I deem applicable to the
proposed transactions will have been complied with;
(b)(i) The securities of Metscan Inc. will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the
holders thereof will be entitled to the rights and
privileges appertaining thereto as set forth in
the Metscan Restated Certificate of Incorporation,
as amended;
(b)(ii) The royalty interest and rights associated
therewith are valid and binding obligations of
Perfection pursuant to the Agreement dated as of
October 1, 1993 between Leidy (then Enerop) and
Perfection except as may be limtied by applicable
bankruptcy laws;

(c) NFR and Leidy will legally acquire the Metscan
securities and the Perfection royalty interest
proposed to be acquired; and
(d) The consummation of the proposed transactions will
not violate the legal rights of holders of
securities issued by NFR or Leidy or any associate
company thereof.
I consent to the use of this opinion as part of said filing.
Very truly yours,
/s/Kyle G. Storie
