Default Removing Ethanol from Gas?

MoGas could be used in gasoline powered vehicles and
equipment on the airport, to use the 8,000 gallons in a
reasonable time. Since many airports are city operated,
police cars and such could also use the fuel farm at the
airport.

stable over time

station with a 55 gallon

airport to burn
| 8000 gallons of auto fuel is not. Not to mention the
airport having to make

and pay for the
| project out of "profits".

| Ethanol is usually blended at the time of being loaded
on a tanker
| truck, so if the local or state law allows, it is very
easy to order a
| tanker full of auto fuel without ethanol. It's not added
at the
| refinery.
