Many experimental and some certified airplanes burn 91 octane mo-gas (automotive fuel). Ethanol is lethal to many airplane components -- specifically many fuel pumps, fuel tanks (bladders), fuel lines, and carburetor components. Ethanol can also cause eroneous readings in aircraft fuel gauges. Even though 91 octane is required, is there any guarantee that ethanol is not also being used in higher octane fuels? Could the recent aircraft engine failures of a couple of experimental airplanes in the Green Country area be linked to ethanol? Makes you wonder.
