Just a question for my curiosity as I have also read in some countries the only fuel available has a much higher Ethanol content than ours, and I can see the UK going the same way within the next year or two.
Are any of you folks in the US running your Rockets on a higher concentration of 10% Ethanol and if so does it still run trouble free with no damage?

E10 is ok! Any higher not ok for any engine that’s not designed specifically for it!

Some Finland guy have made a kit that permits to run with E85 . We are at least 2 guys here in France who run with this kit . I have more than 3 000 Km with E85
my fellow have more and we are very happy with this kit . This kit is able to mesure the percentage of ethanol in the fuel and it adjust the length of injection time
following this percentage so if we don't find a E85 pump we can put regular SP95 or SP98 . The consumption is from 10 to 25% higher but the power is roughtly
the same . The best avantage is the E85 is 0.6€/liter the SP98 is around 1.3€/l so the kit is paid in 6 months .

Nothing like a fuel that will save the environment but you burn more of it! What a sham!

Hey Jag ! Do you know how E85 is made ? E85 is made from korn or other organic material . Unleaded fuel is made from fossil thing who never will be renewed !
So sham ? for big fuel companies ? Are you an integrist ecologist ? I simply tell my experience I never try to convince you to do the same so I don't care
a pin of your moral argument !

Oil from fossils? Maybe, maybe not. Ongoing research may point to something else. There is lots of stuff out there if you care to look for yourself.
Fossil Fuels without the Fossils?
Oil could form with no organic matter, but probably not in commercial quantities
