Continental E-225-4 question
Gary,
You are confusing methanol with ethanol.
Neither is approved for aviation fuel usage.
Both are hydroscopic -- methanol more than ethanol.
Both have materials incompatibilities.
Both increase fuel consumption and reduce power.
Ethanol is the alcohol of choice (Per Archer-Daniels Midland) for
gasohol. It is also the stuff you drink. Methanol will destroy your eyes.
Yup, you are absolutely right. After I hit the return key I realized
my mistake. Grain alcohol (i.e. moonshine) is used in Gasoline, hence
the increase in corn prices. Not denatured alcohol (e.g. Methanol).
