Turbochargers and/or Superchargers love the way the input temps drop on
ethanol. Granted the milage is only 1/4 mile at a time. Most dedicated drag
cars that run very high boost shy away from gasoline as you dont need to cool
inlet temps artificially with water injection in the air
Andrew,The information that you provided is sincerely appreciated. People
may have different opinions. BUT you cannot argue with the that much solid
data.Thanks again.

On the subject of ethanol-free gasoline, be careful where you buy it. I
don't recommend "no-name" independent gas stations...those with names
that you've never seen or are very small chains that sell really cheap
gas, and for good reason.

It is a simple matter to separate the ethanol out of the gas. They recommend
using Premium fuel due to a drop in octane when taking the ethanol out. Get a
clear tank, add ethanol fuel, dump in water and watch it separate out the
ethanol/water solution. Drain out the ethanol/water and you
One of the things to note about the ethanol/water issue. Water and ethanol are
fully miscible; i.e., the blend is total and permanent under normal conditions.
You can determine the "mix" by monitoring specific gravity and applying the
appropriate formula to determine the "percentage" of water.

- Even full aircraft can be modified for ethanol use. Our fleet was donated or
purchased aicraft. We simply pull what components we needed and anodized the
alluminum, and replaced natural rubber with teflon.
- The water issue is another reason we did the test. Ethanol is moonshine, and
Ethanol free is also available anywhere you go here in florida. Be it a marina
or just the local race track gas station.

Ethanol free fuel is also available at many marinas, at least here in Ohio.

Keep in mind that the original post was regarding pure ethanol which is
a different animal than automotive gas with 10% ethanol that you get at
your local gas station. The concerns with using ethanol containing gas
and the reasons the FAA does not allow its use in certified planes with
auto fuel

The two primary objections to ethanol seem to be corrosion/degradatiion of
fuel system components and its tendency to absorb water. As you've pointed
out, the corrosion can be dealt with at design stage quite readily - just
specify appropriate materials.
The water issue doesn't seem so
*What about high altitude flying in the winter *time??
I have gone to 100LL in the winter because of accational carb icing. ?Would the
moisture absorbed by ethanol fuel contribute to carb icing?

What about high altitude flying in the winter time? Sense ethanol will hold
moisture how do you prevent freezing? Sounds like you all have done a lot of
research just ask.

If you are determined to use DOT brake fluid with Cleveland brakes, I would
recommend using DOT 5 silicone based fluid. DOT 5 will be compatible with both

my FIRST thought upon reading that (besides how interesting it is) is what does
this mean for E90 from the local Shell station because, economically, thats the
cheapest to run. I then think of "vapor lock" which seems to be the primary
concern, followed by water absorption and corrosion.
