Seems like if you want to use Mogas, you could use premium that has no
ethanol and there would be no problems. Is that what i read from this
thread? Use premium locally and think 100LL globally (cross country).

Alcohol attacks rubber and plastic components in the fuel system,

fuel loss, or fuel obstruction could result.

Why? Other than checking your tank drains and making CERTAIN you
actually use your carb heat on descent like you are supposed to,
where IS the harm?

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 conti nue 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
