Just a note of caution..........
Ever wonder how a little water gets in the bottom of your mower's gas can?
I'm not sure that mixing water with gas is a good thing, at least for airplanes. Gas can hold up to a tea spoon of water per gallon in solution (without ethanol) and release it when it gets cold. So you use water to rid the fuel of ethanol (yes, this will work, but.....) and add water to the gas that will separate when the fuel gets cool / cold at altitude. This can be an issue for mogas (or 100LL) in the fall and everyone using it needs to be aware of possible water contamination during cold weather. Use only fresh fuel and sump those tanks before every flight!
JMHO.
Just to confirm ethanol cannot be transported in the pipelines (too corrosive to old pipes) and must be added to the fuel at the distribution center. Ethanol is now metered very closely (depending on the equipment) where as a few years ago it was "dump and pray" you were close to 10%. In the old days 5-15% was not uncommon. You may be able to buy "no ethanol" fuel, but the minimums are usually 500 gallons. Call around and talk to the bulk fuel delivery companies in your area. Also, call farm fuel suppliers in your area. Here they will deliver 300 gallon mins, but if I go there I can get 100 gallons at a time, no ethanol. Obviously, this will vary from state to state, but it is worth the call. You may need to invest in a 100 gallon tank, but it is an investment that will pay back very quickly. You will need to become VERY anal about storeing your aviation fuel, note the dual filter set up on mine, and I sump the tank once a week. Before I fill the plane I run 3-4 gallons back into the tank to clear the hoses of possible contamination, I replace the filters, and hoses once a year. You'll have to spend a few buck to maintain your equipment, but that is nothing new.
Yes, I have painted the trailer since this photo.
