Default Is EAA Working on an STC for Ethanol-laced MoGas?

If there is one thing that EAA could do to truly benefit General
Aviation, it would be to help develop STCs for the use of the
increasingly popular (and, in some states, mandated) ethanol-gasolines.


Does anyone know if this is in the works?


I'm not sure how marketable this would be, due to the large amount of
potential replacement componets. Starting with tank sealant and
continuing on to most of the flexible components through to the carb.

Don't get me wrong, I think it would be great to have. I just think
the cost of revamping a fuel system might scare most folks away.

My plane has an autofuel STC that I can't use anymore because of
alcohol and I don't know if I'd go the expense.
