[ercoupe-tech] Ethanol in Gas?

[Jerry Ward]

I am about to leave the Great Northwest for a trip across the USA in my 415-G 
Ercoupe and have just found out that here in Washington State they have made it 
mandatory that all gasoline have 10% Ethanol in every gallon sold.  I am asking 
what would I have to change to be able to continue to use car gas in my 
Ercoupe?  Is it only the fuel lines that are effected?  If so can I just change 
them to modern type hoses and I will be ready to use that gas in my plane?  I 
have heard that I may have to change the valves too.  What do you know about 
this and has any other states done the same thing to your state?  My plane runs 
so much better on 87 octane Regular Gas that I hate to have to start putting in 
that 100LL again.  It just hates it and does not run half as good.  I get 
better performance and milage out of the 87 Octane than I ever did on 100 LL.  
I sure hope that there is a way for me to continue to fly using the new stuff 
with the Ethanol in it.  Thanks for any comments - Jerry with N-355E
