Default Using Ethanol in Your Plane

The tip tanks are the only things that have been ruined SO FAR. There is no
telling how many little pieces are slowly dissolving as we speak.

He has ruined his tip tanks at a loss of $7000 but is using mogas
"without difficulty". Right. That guy is every bit as stupid and
confused as the moron who blundered into the D.C. ADIZ a few months
ago, and is as likely to give GA an equally bad name.


I agree -- but the fact remains that he IS running a stock O-540 on
gasohol, without difficulty. (Well, other than ruining the fiberglass tip
tanks -- admittedly a still price to pay.)

This presents some hope for those of us who live in fear of the day when
our Gubmint removes regular unleaded gasoline from our host of options,
purportedly "for our own good"...
