Found this http://www.mcnews.com/mcn/technical/2012decethanol.pdf very interesting reading.
Think I may give it a go to see if I can find some pump fuel ie. "BP Ultimate" that really is Ethanol free. This will show it up nicely, so have taken the plunge and ordered a kit. Will report back when the kit arrives and I have time to test it. If it works well it's worth every penny of £50.
If "BP Ultimate" does turn out to contain Ethanol, the kit will get a fair bit of use making all the petrol I use Ethanol free. What price peace of mind?

Hi Roy & all Posters,
I have not had a reply yet to 2nd email to BP.
I hope the 50quid kit proves to work for you Roy, keep us all informed.
I think its a bit of a pain though when we have to P*ss About with stuff like that, especially with high fuel prices & with all the other added expenses we have including all the Taxes/VAT we have to pay .... :(.... :'(

Greebo. Have replied to your PM, sorry its late been kinda busy. I checked out a few petrol sources around me (North West) and BP Ultimate Super Unleaded is Ethanol free. I know it is as I have tested it myself.

Hi all,
Very interesting read all of this stuff.
I have my private pilots licence and this got me thinking. AVGAS is 100 octane as far as I am aware and I doubt wether this would contain Ethanol as water in the fuel tanks is a disaster waiting to happen.
It is quite a bit more expensive but may well be a price that would be worth paying.
A would imagine a local airfield would be willing to sell this in a decent size Jerry can.
I know my local airfield suffer quite a bit of this nicked from the planes when they are parked up bomber racers etc.
Can any of you boffins have a look into this. :D
