The existing prohibition on the use of alcohol additives REMAINS in in effect. It is the operators responsibility to assure that the autogas conforms to ASTM Spec. D-4814, or the predecesor Spec. D-439. Autogas blended with MTBE is approved for use in aircraft that are approved for the use of autogas by STCs. AC23.1521-1A is being revised to remove the prohibition on MTBE additives.
