Etanol 25% gasoline

in General Tech Discussion 9 years ago
:dry: In Brazil our best gasoline has 25% of etanol added and has 95 octanes. The other choice is avgas 100. I have been using this automotive gas, so far whith no problems, as many others Rotax 912 brazillians owners. I take special care with hoses and rubber components of the gas feeding lines.
My question: may I continue to use this automotive gasoline (it is cheaper and easer to find)?

    I have heard and talked to a few that use those high ethanol blends from 23-25%. I personally never have. Ours where I live in the US is 10% or lower. Many in the South American countries have to use those blends and I haven't heard of any issues. I guess you have more experience with its use and other Rotax owners down there using that fuel and it seems to work so it will have to be a personal choice on its continued use. If all the other Rotax owners with some long hours on their engines aren't having an issue then it seems to be good to go.
