I.e. how far below the level of the pump the fuel level is permitted to be and still be able to lift fuel and provide adequate fuel pressure? I looked in the installation and heavy maint. manuals and couldn't find a spec for this. I'm just kicking some ideas around on my fuel system in my titan. The fuel level gets pretty low below the pump at half a tank and below (about 2 feet maybe more) and I'm just curious how close to the edge that is (i.e. without a boost pump).

You guys REALLY need to stop drinking so much tea. This (ethanol subsides and related BS) started in 1978 and Reagan and Bush I were supporters. That conservative mouthpiece, the Washington Post, has come out against the subsidies that make this nonsense not just possible but inevitable. Likewise the environment movement has pretty much rejected the idea as worthless Without the subsidies, again, supported by Reagan and Bush, there would little to no ethanol in mogas because it wouldn't pay the refiners to put it there. Just maybe if the GOP and their pet think tanks would allow election reform to happen, then Congress couldn't be bought (so easily) by the cooperations that are propagating the BS. This is not a political forum so I've already said too much. But this misinformation has to be responded to.

From: "lucien" What's so funny about this is ethanol is _not_ a renewable fuel because it's not (self) sustainable. It requires a lot of petroleum to produce and in fact increases our dependence on petroleum. Apart from that, concerning E15, I think and hope that it'll be simply another choice along with E10. If that's the case, we should be ok as long as E10 is still available. If however they just force all gas to be E15, well, Rotax will be right back at square one having to test it and go through the whole process again..... Maybe by then an unleaded avgas will have been approved and start showing up at airports?

I would assume in the composite Aircraft Manual it specifies what to and not to use. This is obviously not a Rotax issue but an airframe issue. If it is a wet wing sometimes the tank uses a flocculant agent which is not compatible with ethanol. My aircraft manual specifically stated this. Always pays to read the aircraft manual carefully.

From: FLYaDIVE Ron: Why did it start? It is a case of 'one hand washes the other' - It is a case of government contracts going to the big companies - Boeing - Rockwell - Lear Sigler, etc. and where are they located? On the East Coast - On the West Coast and in the Texas Area. SOOooo when a bill came up in congress and the Senators in these three areas wanted the Senators of the middle states to vote for the bill, the Mid-State Senators said: WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR ME? HMmmmm Good question.... AHhhhhh we will subsidize your CORN GROWING.... GEEeeeeee How are you going to do that? EASY! We will get the EPA to SAY.... SAY WITH OUT PROOF... Or did you forget about the attempted bill/proposal that REQUIRED the EPA to PROVE what they say? Guess you DID! REMEMBER MTBE, the Un-Tested, Un-Proven and Un-Substantiated additive that was to reduce emission, improve air quality AND in the first advertising - Improve your gas mileage? Well, REMEMBER what it DID DO? It polluted the ground water... It has a molecule so small that it penetrated right through the concrete pads of the gas station, it reduced your gas mileage by 10%, it was making people SICK... Especially the gas station attendants that worked with it all day & night long with it. The illegal immigrant gas station attendants - That went to hospitals and put a further strain on MY (I don't know about your) Insurance rates. All this because there ARE NO checks and balances and stupid statements made by the EPA are accepted WITHOUT ANY PROOF. So maybe you should put down the tequila and start tea toting so you can get your brain wrapped around what is REALLY happening. STOP with the single minded rhetoric and REALIZE what BIG GOVERNMENT (no party alignment) is doing to YOU. I know you don't understand what it is doing to the NATION. Now, care to PROVE your statements? Mine are proven - we don't have MTBE any more do we!
