| Jim,
| What's the problem?? I did do some net research but couldn't get any
| download this morning from the EAA site for whatever reason and
apparently
| made the mistake to ask here what others are doing.
|
| Sorry,

| Recently my gas station placed stickers on the pumps warning it
could
| contain up to 10% ethanol.
|
| My ride is an experimental built in 1997 with a C-85 always run on
mogas.
|
| Quick research indicates 3 concerns:
| 1-loosens debris inside the fuel system affecting filters.
| 2-mixes more readily with water (hydroscopic) but can experience
"phase
| separation" during climbs causing water to overload filter/sediment
| bowls.
| 3-can deteriorate composites, rubbers and plastics causing
| leaks/breakages.
|
|
| Leaning towards more frequent gascolator inspections for 1 and 3,
but
| unsure on overloading a sediment bowl....
|
| I'm wondering how others are addressing these concerns.
|
| Thanks, Dick
