I was listening to a local central Florida auto mechanics radio show today when the speaker
stated that the only place that still sells ethanol free gas in this area is at some of the boat
marinas.  He referred to Marine grade gasoline.  A quick web search tuned up these links:

Along with some local marinas that offer ethanol free gas.  Is anyone familiar with these fuels

or thoughts on using it in our rotary engines.  I notice that the Valvtect site talks about

additives for prolonged high power settings.

That's encouraging for guys flying factory planes requiring stc-legal fuel and guys flying fuel system components that won't tolerate alcohol, too. (even if Valvtect can't spell 'fuel' in their web link :-) ).

Mind if I pass this on to other lists?
