I would imagine that the gelling problems ethanol can sometimes cause in automobiles is magnified when used for aircraft due to the thermal dynamics present in aviation (the temperature drop while in-flight) that aren’t a factor for most automobiles. That’s just my intuition, I’m sure there are better informed people here who know better.
