Ethanol is corrosive. So you have to watch running it in aluminum and some plastics. Think stainless steel fuel lines.

Add to that the fact that ethanol has less BTU value than AvGas/Pump gas, so you will need more of it to get as far as you would on regular fuel.

Also may dissolve your fuel tanks.

More likely to vapour lock.

All ethanol (E10) sold here in Oz has "not for aircraft" on the pump.
