ethanol question
Recently my gas station placed stickers on the pumps warning it could
contain up to 10% ethanol. My ride is an experimental built in 1997 with a C-85 always run on mogas. Quick research indicates 3 concerns: 1-loosens debris inside the fuel system affecting filters. 2-mixes more readily with water (hydroscopic) but can experience "phase separation" during climbs causing water to overload filter/sediment bowls. 3-can deteriorate composites, rubbers and plastics causing leaks/breakages. Leaning towards more frequent gascolator inspections for 1 and 3, but unsure on overloading a sediment bowl.... I'm wondering how others are addressing these concerns. Thanks, Dick |
