Don,
I checked with our local fuel suppliers here a few weeks ago and they told me that Sunoco in Ontario is the only one that has ethanol gas. I don't buy Sunoco anyhow, but If I needed gas I would.
I have yet to see it marked on any pump either ....YET.
Regardless of the fear - who has actually had a problem from ethanol gas. ? I have heard of it but not seen peronally.
So I can say that on 2006 alone I used over 1200 US gals of gas in My kitfox and tanks not leak yet. Although I might be eating those words though anyday.
I am not a supporter of ethanol but I am a supporter in buying gas. I will not limit my self to only buying one kind of gas because of speculation. If you fly anywhere and need gas ,especially on floats then you must learn to adapt or not fly anymore.
If and when my tanks fail, then I will replace them with what ever I need.
Everyone can talk and test but how many Kitfoxes have had a issue with this so far ?
