I was talking with an old timer the other day about aircraft engines and we started into the topic of fuel availability. With the many automotive based engines being installed in aircraft he felt that there was a risk in having ethanol blended into the gasoline.
Now, I know that this is a problem with the current aircraft engines in that the water will plug the filter screen in the fuel pump but is it a problem when we are using automotive based technology? Aren't these engines and their fuel systems designed to handle blended fuel?
