Didn't want to creep the thread - but here goes.
I told them it was a bad idea. The aircraft fuel system has a water separator and just like ours, it only works if the water will separate
They went back to avgas after that or ethanol free fuel, which is the only auto fuel approved for (some) aircraft.
