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 http://www.do.losrios.cc.ca.us/scc/spring/aviation.htm -Robert Link is broken. I'm sure it is from the 10s of 1000s of folks wanting to buy that STC. |

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. -Robert 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. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

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.
