Mark,

I deleted my reply but I THINK that what I said was that I had not tested 
with enhanol. I actually have no personal experience with ethanol as I have 
never had it in the tank. I have used pure 93 oct gas extensivly for years 
and HAVE done careful inspection of exposed hysol and tank sealer and have 
found no problem. Chemically, there is simply less energy in ethanol than in 
gasoline. If I was considering using ethanol (I'm not),  I'd do plenty of 
out-of-airplane testing first.
