Hi Paul,

    The EAA Hotline mentioned that California is going to go all ethanol blend on ARCO Fuels
soon.  Oddly enough, I don't recall ever hearing whether there are any pros & cons about ethanol
and our rotaries.  -  What's the scoop?

Thanks,
Robin

I think there are some issues with fuel tanks and plumbing.
As I recall it is not recommended for composite fuel tanks.
Despite being several cents cheaper per gallon (probably due
to a CA state tax break) it does not dominate sales in CA.
