There are a lot of airplanes not certified mostly crop-dusters running
100% pure Ethanol. The problem with Ethanol is taht it is corosive. It will eat up your fuel thank, fuel lines, carburator. Cars made to run in Ethanol have these parts with modified materials to slow down the corrosion. On airplanes I was told they manufacture stainless steel fuel thanks and replace the lines with stainless steel ones. These guys don't care as the diference in Ethanol cost can be 1/3 of Avgas in Brazil. So for the amount of flying they do it pays for a new engine every few months. |
