Effective January 1, 1996, one of the 1990 Federal Clean Air Act Amendments banned the sale of leaded fuels for on-road vehicles. The Environmental Protection Agency exempted the general aviation, racing, farming, and marine communities from compliance. The general aviation community is now one of the largest domestic consumers of leaded fuel. The need for a safe, alternative, high-octane unleaded fuel is becoming more apparent. The Federal Aviation Administration William J. Hughes Technical Center, working in conjunction with the Cessna Aircraft Company, performed endurance and detonation tests on ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE) containing less than 1% butane.
