Dear Listers,
Here in the United States, Thursday is our National day of Thanksgiving. Many
of us will be traveling to be with our families and friends to share in generous
feasts of plenty and giving thanks for the many blessings that have been bestowed
upon us.
Many Listers have expressed over the last couple of weeks how thankful they are
for the Email Lists and Forums here on the Matronics servers and for all of the
assistance and comradery they have experienced being a part of the Lists.
One of my favorite comments is when someone writes to me and says something like,
"Its the first thing I do in the morning while I'm having my morning coffee!".
That's a wonderful tribute to the purpose and function of these Lists.
Its always great to hear I'm not the only one that jumps out of bed each morning
to check my List email!!
Won't you take a minute today and show your appreciation for these Lists and for
their continued operation and upgrade?

It is getting difficult to obtain ethanol-free MOGAS in the UK. Given that Rotax
equipped microlights in the UK have been operating using MOGAS containing ethanol
for several years, seemingly without incident, the indications are the CAA/LAA
may be willing to grant dispensation for ethanol based fuel on a type by
type basis.
We know the Rotax 912 is approved for up to 10% ethanol and the fuel pipes and
connectors in our Europas are the same as many microlights, so in theory these
would appear to be suitable, but my question is does anybody know if the Europa
fuel tank is ethanol resistant? If it is we may be able to get clearance to
operate on MOGAS with ethanol.
Of course whenever possible it would always be preferable to use ethanol free fuel,
but it would be good to have the flexibility to operate legally on MOGAS
with ethanol when necessary.
