Subject: [COUPERS-FLYIN] AOPA: Pilots win re: Washington State ethanol/autogas ----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----
Autogas legislation changed in Washington State
Pilot action has turned the tide on Washington State
ethanol-in-gasoline legislation. As originally drafted, both Senate and
House versions would have required all automobile gasoline sold in the
state to be blended with ethanol, making it unsafe and illegal to use
in aircraft flying with autogas supplemental type certificates (STCs).
AOPA supported local pilots who operate using the autogas STC by
contacting bill sponsors and the Washington governor's office. The
association explained the problems the bill would cause aircraft owners
and gave committee staff examples of alternate legislation.
The bill has been amended in the House to require only a small
percentage of all gasoline sold in the state to be blended with
ethanol. Sources in the Senate report that the Senate will concur with
the House amendments and that Governor Christine Gregoire is likely to
sign the bill as amended.
Washington is not the only state to look toward this more
environmentally friendly blended fuel. AOPA, as it has already done in
Montana, Idaho, and Missouri, and has under way in Iowa, will continue
to advocate for the availability of motor gas without ethanol for use
in aircraft.
