| Subject: | Re: HKS and ethanol |
When my buddy Ed was keeping his FSII in the hangar next to me, he used ethanol
fuel in his 582, the key was to take the float bowls off and just dump the fuel
after each flight. Otherwise the ethanol will crud up the carb internals.

Thanks Richard. I had no idea that there was anyone left on the list. :-)
I live in a remote part of Oregon, and the one station that is within 40
miles of me has non ethanol fuel, sells it for more than 5 and change.
Their ethanol fuel is still higher than the non ethanol in Boise Idaho,
where I go shopping. So I just as well use non ethanol.

Agreed, we have seen the same thing with old cars that sit around a lot - the
ethanol picks up water from the atmosphere and cruds up the fuel system. Vehicles
that get used a lot [and therefore dont have ethanol containing fuel sitting
there going stale] usually dont have issues. Those who let it sit around do
have issues. Now, I have to go out and look at a fuel system myself that has
been sitting around...
