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.

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... ----------------------------------- All the best, Al Fuller -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com On Behalf Of Richard Pike Sent: Sunday, August 25, 2024 12:25 PM Subject: Kolb-List: 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.
