a.. What you say is true...as far as it goes. What the first paragraph
IMPLIES is that there IS a safe way to fly with alcohol between 1 and 5%.
In fact, they even give guidelines for it (use caution, 24 hours to use
it,
drain the system afterwards, etc.). If you don't want to do this, then DO
NOT FLY.

a.. Or am I reading it wrong?\

That is about as poorly worded as anything I haave ever seen. My take on it
is that you should not fly with up to 5%, but you don't have to do something
to the fuel system for up to 24 hours. If you have more than 5%, you have
to act immediately, and take extreme actions in protecting your fuel system,
or your plane is screwed.

But in the long run, the only one who knows for sure is the person that
wrote that piece of work.
