You'll never get an STC to put it in a certified aircraft. Better
start thinking experimental.


Actually there is a company with an STC for biodiesel. They have a
C-172 at Sacramento City College that if fully STC'd on biodiesel
rigtht now. If you really want give these guys a call

Link is broken. I'm sure it is from the 10s of 1000s of folks wanting to buy
that STC.

Jay, where do you fill the grape from and how do you know there is no evil alcohol in it?


Hampton Airport in SE New Hampshire sells straight mogas with no
additives. They buy it by the tankload at the terminal in Portland ME
before the bad stuff goes in.

In the Twin Cities (St Paul / Mpls) the pumps with NO ethanol are marked
special. About 1 in 50 stations has such a pump - and it's usually 93
Premium ...Non-Oxy.


Can I have some shipped out to California? I'm tired of having to
drain my lawn mower and edger after every mowing and having to throw
out the gas in my cans every 30 days. The mower shops are booked up 3
months out cleaning the gook out of carbs.

Lawnmower carbs are simple to clean!!!!! I run Avgas in mine Never a
Problem!!!!

Diesels and diesels running Freedom Fry grease are going to require two very
different STCs. Robert posted a link to a outfit with a Biodiesel STC but I
couldn't get the link to work.

Tell the truth Jay. Is it because a 1/2 or full tablet won't fit in the Coke
bottle you are using?


Actually, we use a genuine AOPA coffee mug for our testing...

;-)

Really, it doesn't matter how big the piece is -- if it fizzes, you've
got junk gas. It's only got to be big enough to see at the bottom of
the mug.

Is it true that there is no longer any requirement to label gasoline
contaminated with alcohol?

Worse.
I read that, starting in 2007, in some places, California and some
Canadian Provinces included, it is regulated that all gasoline sold
must
contain at least 5% alcohol/ethanol.

Tony
Here in Ontario I was told not all gasoline must have 5% alky, but 5%
of all fuel sold must be alky - so 50% of all fuel sold being E10
satisfies the requirement. In practice, virtually all 87 octane will
be e10. Premium 91 will (from some companies, at least) be E0, making
the blended 89 E5. Since significantly over half the gasoline sold in
Ontario is 87 octane, this would excede the requirements. - Just from
what I've been told, but you can never trust the elected idiots, or
worse yet the beurocrats


IF I ever get a plane, all these silly fuel issues would be a real
irritant. I haven't been paying much attention to the new diesel
aircraft engines becoming available. Since I should be making my own
biodiesel by the end of this Summer (for something less than 45 cents a
gallon), are any of the new diesels in the O-200/Rotax 912 class?




What do you grow to make biodiesel?


Relatives that own restuarants and have to pay to dispose of waste fryer
oil!



You grow relatives?
