Why don't we see desiel airplane engines? Same for chainsaws.

Maybe it has to do with RPM or cost of manufacturing on the chainsaw? But on the airplane you would think cost wouldn't be as much of a factor. However Jet and turboprop run on diesel don't they?

Pisten desiel engines have a higher weight to hp ratio. Quite a bit higher.

Yes, Jet A, JP-8... Essentially diesel.

Most of the opinions on ethanol are anecdotal, unfortunately. Ethanol free gas is really hard to get in our area, so I just use pump gas in the 2 stroke and 4 stroke small engines. I put some stabilizer in it when I buy it, try to remember to run the engines dry before storage (but forget sometimes) and I've never had a problem. Maybe I'm just lucky, but if it came to the point I had to buy the expensive canned gas, I would go battery powered or diesel on everything.
When I was riding multi-carburetor motorcycles the effect of the ethanol was quite obvious every spring and occasionally during the riding season. White powder in the body and bowl when having to disassemble and clean.

No luck finding station using the Pure-gas site?
It looks like a fair drive for you to get to a Stewarts shop, that is one of the nice thing about them I beleive that everyone that sells gas has an ethanol free one it is the high test and costly.
