Randy I traded a VP-1 to a man in Texas, he without knowing put a blended fuel
in and it melted his tank (glass) which went to the RevFlowand stuck the slide
wide open while he was propping the plane. It put he and his wife in the
hospital and killed the VP. This is not a tale, I have pictures. He didn't do
anything wrong that he was aware of but that didn't change the outcome and it
could have been a lot worse. Alcohal will eat rubber parts and could do the
same thing, be careful. Steve BrayJackson, Tennessee> Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2006
