Remember, ethanol is not mixed into the fuel until the local

Just out of curiosity, why can't it be transported in pipelines?


The same reason it can't be used in existing airplanes; pieces of the
plumbing start leaking.


It can be used in existing airplanes. All you need to do is replace
fittings. I've done it. My old Luscombe ran on Ethanol laden mogas.

So does this conversion have any limitations? Can you run E85? How
