Gasahol Update

Read it again, George. Here you go:


a.. If fuel contains up to 5% alcohol, caution must be exercised. Do not
permit it to remain in tanks or fuel system more than 24 hours, then drain
and refill with alcohol-free fuel, ensuring that no alcohol concentration
remains in fuel lines or sump. Vapor lock may be a problem. DO NOT FLY.

a.. If alcohol content is more than 5%, DO NOT FLY. Drain fuel system, flush
all parts, replace with clean alcohol-free fuel and run up engine long
enough to exchange fuel in carburetor bowl.


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?

Jim

a..

a.. Which page? The EAA page I read states "DO NOT FLY" (caps in original)
with over
1% alky. In fact, you posted a copy of that page.
