Using Ethanol in Your Plane

Unlike some on this newsgroup, Jay, I'm not quick to admit in public to
busting the FARs. Especially since I use my FAA wallpaper to accumulate a
few AMUs from time to time.

Gotcha.

However, could you not take your 182 into the "Experimental" category, and
experiment to your heart's content? True, the resale value of your 182
would plummet to near zero, but (a) you'd be saving fifty bucks every time
you filled the tanks, (b) you aren't ever planning to sell the plane,
anyway, and (c) you'd be doing everyone a great public service.

What's a few bucks, when in exchange you can get that warm, fuzzy feeling
inside from helping your fellow pilots?

:-)

It sure would be good to know -- from a knowledgeable source -- that the
stuff works safely in airplanes. I'm sick of hearing "it can't be done"
from our AOPA and EAA reps, when clearly that's a load of B.S.
