There is no real reason that FBO's can not get un-tainted gasoline. The
alcohols are added in when the truck is filled. The difficulties are
procedural not strategic...


In some states the alcholol is required by law in auto fuel. Not sure
if the refinerys are going to be interested in making a special
aviation batch when they already make 100LL.


As I said, it's added at the truck-loading station.
Not at the refinery. So if it's NOT being sold for
cars....

How about the requirements for truck delivery of 100LL? I once
understand that there can be no other fuel on board the truck, and
that the tank(s) have to be flushed with 100 LL and the flushing
mixture thrown away (a hazardous waste?) before the airport load is
put in.


AFAIK, 100LL is not moved by pipeline anywhere. So it's trucked/railed
to either the final destination airport or a truck loading terminal.

I suspect the delivery truck from there may be dedicated to 100LL, but
maybe not.

I can't see the requirement before delivering 100LL; but after may be an
issue lead getting into autogas.
