mogas availability?

[Gregmarlow]

Are there any airports that sell mogas without ethonol? How do I find these airports/FBO's?

Thanks,

So now that you've answered your own question- would you like to share the answer with the (curious) rest of us?

Go to airnav.com, click the link for "aviation fuel" (bottom near right side), then "check local fuel prices" on the next page. That will take you to the search page which allows to specify what type of fuel.

As to ethanol content - I though the term "mogas" implied something meant for aircraft, different than strictly automotive fuel - not sure. Nothing on the website implies/guarantees no ethanol - but sure does cut down the search.

Don't head to the airport without it.

Unleaded auto fuel, commonly referred to as "mogas" in aviation use, to differentiate it from "avgas", which is 100 LL, is an approved aviation fuel as long as it does not have ethanol in it, so if mogas is sold on an airport, it doesn't have ethanol in it. Unleaded auto fuel is made to ASTM D-4814 and is specified that way in the EAA STC and the Petersen STC and as such is approved by the FAA as an aviation fuel.

If it did have ethanol in it, it would have been delivered out of spec for aviation use and would have to be removed from the airport, just the same as when 100 LL is contaminated and does not meet spec, which has happened.

OK, so with that definition of "Mogas", the airnav.com search does achieve the OP's intent.
