: Right. The FAA limits the percent of alcohol in gasohol which can be
: used in airplanes.

Yeah.... 0.0%

I don't believe any of the auto products are low
: enough.

Alcohol can eat rubber seals and such in the Lycontosaurus engines in planes.
Also, it can attack the rubber in bladders, or even the aluminum in wet-wing or
structural in-wing tanks. The alcohol avgas like EG85 (IIRC) requires new seals
all around, and has additives to prevent corrosion.
