of a strange mogas tank. It may be 100° out and that mogas could've been

Dude... I'm using mogas because I'm using a MO-engine. I've driven cars at
over 5000 ft (Lake Tahoe.. 9000 ft) MSL.. and in temps over 100* F... and
alcohol wont hurt MY engine because the seals in it and the fuel system
are DESIGNED to use motor gas in all of its domestic formulations. I
think some of those "absolutes" you are listing are overkill.

Oh - as for the rest of it? Lousy gas can stop that Wankel in it's tracks.
Gas that is not blended for altitude and or season (temperature) can make
the fan stop turning. In your car, you likely bought gas that was intended
for use at Lake Tahoe and/or in temps over 100° F. In your airplane you
might buy mogas at sea level which is designed for sea level. Then you haul
your butt to 10,000' msl and your sea level mogas is merrily bubbling away.
Firesleeves and recirculation only *delay* vapor lock - they don't prevent
it.

You may be safe - for a while. Then maybe. . .not. You have a point - stay
close to roads and civilization.
