Using Ethanol in Your Plane

There's a California fellow over on the Cherokee 235/236 user's group who is
using ethanol-laced mogas in his Cherokee 235, exclusively, and without
difficulty.

He admits that he *has* ruined his fiberglass tip tanks -- at something like
$3500 each -- but this has not deterred him from simply shutting them off
and using the aluminum main tanks.

I'm intrigued by his experiment. Although we Iowans just last week defeated
a bill that would have mandated ethanol in all of our gasoline (thanks to
the many here who wrote letters to our legislators!), that threat is always
looming on the horizon.

Jim Weir, you out there? Have you done any barn yard experimenting with
ethanol in your 182?
