To anyone who has encountered this situation:

 

Ethanol-free autogas is getting more and more difficult to find.  For those of you who are already flying your rotary-powered kitplanes, what has been your practice regarding the use of autogas?  Has anyone been using fuel that contains ethanol?  If so, what percentage?  Have you seen any actual damage from use of autogas containing ethanol, or is this just another myth - not applicable to rotary engines?  After all, the engines seem to run just fine in cars using ethanol-based autogas.

 

Thanks for your input.
