I just read where any fuel that contains alcohol must be avoided in aircraft. The reason stated was the alcohol will easily cause vapor lock.
True? Not true? I had just made up my mind to born 93 Octane MoGas. Might back off on that decision now.
Environmental regulations sometimes require the addition of oxygenates to gasoline. Reformulated gasoline (RFG) contains oxygenates. Although there are other differences between RFG and standard gasoline, the percentage of oxygenates are what we, as pilots, need to be primarily concerned about.
The most widely used oxygenate today is ethanol. Ethanol cannot be legally or safely used with the STCs
