I'm sorry, Roger if my bad English could cause a wrong impression on what I
really want to say.
We have lots of Rotax powered planes here, and some of them failed after
fueling with car gas. And we also lost some lives .
I'm just worried about the fact of too many pilots buying fuel at the gas
station and flying. Although the engine may burn some ethanol safely, we
cannot trust the control of contamination levels and the real composition of
the products at a car gas station, where they're less commited to safety
than to profits. And don't think just of engines. What about the lines,
pumps, filters, tanks and everything that may be in contact with the fuel
and the gases it produces?
I'm a private pilot since 1987, and I'm not an engine expert, but I'm
wishing the safest flying to everybody.
And let me tell you how much I appreciate your efforts to elucidate those
questions to all of us.

Hi Espuny,
I have found that most pilots are fairly well educated as to fuel use in
their particular engine. Some engines can handle ethanol and some can't.
