Don't they have to indicate on the pump if ethenol is being used? I haven't seen any signs in Winston-Salem yet. ----- Original Message -----

Curt,Check this out (thanks to Terry Bowden for posting this stuff):http://www.mykitplane.com/Planes/People ... nt.pdfIt's an excerpt from a service manual for Continental C-75 and C-85 engines, relatingto the NA-S3A1, but there is a parts list at the back which also liststhe parts for the NA-S3B. It looks like MOST of the parts are common, but thereare a few differences. It looks like the NA-S3B does not have a mixture control,just a cover plate (index number 55).I also believe (I may well be wrong - so if anyone knows better, please chime in)that the NA-S3B is intended for use with the A-65 engine. If that's the case,the venturi is likely only 1 1/4", rather than the 1 3/8" required for theC-85.As to whether the NA-S3B can be used, or modified for use with a C-85, I'll leavethat for others more intelligent than I.Bill C.PSChuck, were you replying to a different thread???Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: ETHENOL IN NC

Here's a handy website that lists gas stations that DO NOT have ethanol mixed withtheir gas.http://pure-gas.org/The lists are updated by the users. If you know of a station that offers ethanol-freegas, you can add it to the list. Conversely, if you know of a station thatno longer offers ethanol-free gas, you can take them off the list. Just clickon the state or province you want to know about, and get a list of stationsthat serve ethanol-free gas.I just checked for NC, since that state was specifically mentioned, and Wilmingtonhas 4 stations listed, and Winston-Salem only has 2.NC is one of the many states that DO NOT require the pumps to be labeled if ethanolis added to the gas, according to this website:http://www.fuel-testers.com/state_guide ... s.htmlBill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

As far as I know, nearly all gas in NC is 10% ethanol. It is very difficultto find gas that does not contain ethanol.Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC _____

I guess I stand corrected. The last time we had this problem, in the 70's I think, if a pump had ethenol there had to be a notice to that effect printed on the pump. I guess they must have changed that. I have noticed a slight decrease in fuel milage on my auto but just thought it was because of my driving. ----- Original Message -----

Another good resource is Street Rod Association.The Minnesota Street Rod Association publishes a good list of gas stations that sell non-oxygenated fuel.http://www.msra.com/NonOxygenatedFuel/N ... 11.pdfGreg Cardinal----- Original Message -----
