Jeff From: "Al Gietzen" Subject: RE: [FlyRotary] Re: FW: 100LL in California Date: Thu, 12 May 2011 07:29:13 -0800 To: "'Rotary motors in aircraft'" The pure-gas.org lists only 3 sources in all of California. I've checked t= he local marinas around San Diego, and the response I get is "all fuel in C= A contains 10 % ethanol". I've tested the fuel I've been buying at the local Chevron stations, and it= has 10% ethanol. I've been using that fuel almost exclusively for 5 years = in my Velocity (EZpoxy tanks), and am not aware of any problems sp far. It= does cause me some anxiety, however; so I'm considering more extensive use= of 100LL. Seems ironic - one good reason for using mogas is eliminating the lead poll= ution; which the regulators are trying to achieve; and then they regulate t= he requirement for ethanol in the fuel which makes that a bad choice as wel= l. Typical bureaucratic lose-lose situation.
