OK for all those that don't already know the answer, put a small
bottle of gas line antifreeze in each tank that has mogas in it. Gas =
line
antifreeze is nothing more than methanol and will evaporate any water in =
the
system. This does not mean you can forget to drain the sump as part of =
your
pre-flight however.
Next make sure you refill your tanks promptly after each flight as
condensation in the empty part of the tank is the usual cause of water =
in
the system.
As for the alcohol in fuel problem you should know that ALL oil
companies trade products back and forth as need be so any one brand may =
or
may not have alcohol in it no matter where you get it. The only way you =
can
be sure that you're not getting it is to test each and every bit you get
each time you refuel. The other way is to burn avgas which is tested for
purity, specific gravity as well as several other things prior to =
leaving
the refinery or bulk station. Better yet junk the engines and replace =
with
turbines and you can land at any old truckstop for fuel.
