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

At least one airplane is STC'd for E100, and reportedly the LyCon top
ends actually live far longer with this fuel.

Just an aside::: IC engines live the longest on Propane... Just ask
any factory that converted it's gas powered fork trucks to propane...
So much for the , "ya gotta burn at least 25% 100LL to protect the
valves" crowd...

Another interesting aside is that I installed a 10KW, propane powered,
220V AC generator with automatic transfer switching, because of our
frequent power outages here in the boonies... I can also run the engine
on natural gas with no changes, but the power output drops to 7KW if I
do... No natural gas lines in the middle of nowhere Michigan, so not
an issue for me, but an interesting fact I thought...
