Auto fuel in the Lightning.

      Metal tanks is a good solution Nick, not an option for a Jabiru wing
      tank though. 
      
      Good point about the 'other' additives and any alcohol proof sloshing
      sealer.
      
      Have you considered a 'polythene' type  moulded solution for the tank
      material? (not sure what they are actually made of).
      
      Regards, Clive

      Thanks for this message Nick
      The addition of metal fuel tanks will certainly be an advantage for us
      owners and pilots in foreign countries where Avgas 100/130 is becoming
      more and more a rare commodity, gradually becoming available at the
      major airports only.
      Auto fuel is an option with unleaded 93 or 98 octane fuel available.
      Fortunately down-under the prominence of alcohol additive hasn't had the
      same market penetration as it has in the US, for a range of reasons, the
      least of which being the lower calorific output of alcohol versus
      mineral fuels. Not to say we haven't had our share of questionable
      additives such an benzene and a few others who's names I struggle with.
      
      Always appreciate your input on these important matters and trust you're
      back to health.
      
      Kind regards
