For a long cross country I've wondered what would happen if you use alcohol fuels enroute and then ran avgas for the last 30 minutes at your destination if you'd run enough of the alcohol out of the system that it doesn't eat your airplane's fuel system. I've seen sea plane pilots fill the back of their truck with avgas from the airport and truck it down to the pond. -Robert |
