Thanks Richard for the heads up on the ethanol contaminated fuel.  Your words are picture enough.

Folks:



Used ethanol laced fuel until last year.  Discovered contaminated fuel in

tank and carbs.



My remedy was 100LL and non-ethanol fuel, plus Stabil.  



I don't fly regularly.  The MKIII sits for months on end.  The above

solution seems to be working.



If I flew as frequently as I did in my younger days, I would have no qualms

about using ethanol laced fuel.



Recommend checking float bowls at least once a month.  Be surprised what one

finds in there.

In the summer, I use E10 with no issues at all, but when the temps start dropping and my flying frequency diminishes to once a month or less, I switch to 100LL. 



Both fuels are legal in our type certified Katana w/ 912-F3 engine whereas Stabil is not. In experimentals, I simply added Stabil to E10 during winter months and it worked out fine.
