Which airplane?

Be careful about the mogas. In many parts of the U.S. (maybe you're not
in the U.S.) mogas is prohibited by the FAA because of additives.

When did that happen? I guess it depends on the mogas, as they aren't
all created equally...

" mogas is prohibited by the FAA because of additives."

Aside from ethanol, (whic is usually from a labeled pump, and the
presence of which is easily verified), what are the prohibited
additives?

... and/or a water test/tube shake test.

You can just read the pump, but I'm not understanding your point. For
those of us living in areas of the country that require ethanol be
added to all automotive fuel, mogas is not an option. If the original
poster is in that situation, the ability to run mogas is of no value.

Ethanol is required by law in automotive fuel at any gas station within
an hour's drive of me. I'm not going to drive for an hour to get gas
for my plane. For those of us in that situation, mogas is not an
option.
