[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 256781, member: 6937"] Ethanol fuel is absolutely prohibited for use in aviation, because at elevation where the temperature is colder, ethanol fuel can freeze, unlike MTBE based fuel. Marinas have also quit with ethanol fuel, because of all the issue with marine fuel systems using ethanol, and they now carry MTBE exclusively, at least, around here they do. So, I think there will ALWAYS be non-ethanol fuel out there somewhere. At least 75% of outboard engines and PWC's in the shop, are there because of issues related directly to ethanol fuel. I've seen internal carb parts eat up by this stuff, and I've seen a lot of outboard fuel lines where the interior layer seperated from the outer jacket, and collapsed, starving the motor for fuel....again, ethanol fuel.
