In reality its a bit of a work to self-fuel but I save about $35 to $45
dollars every fill up. Much more important my 7:1 compression ratio
O-470 engine runs better on 80/87 octane. No lead fouled plugs and no
lead sludge in the oil. Oil analysis greatly improved since switching
to mogas. I'm Happy. Rig was paid for after 6 months.
Auto gas cannot be used unless you're flying a home built, right?
Wrong. Some certified aircraft use it from the start, but most will require
a STC, which stands for supplemental type certificate. It basicly says that
someone has tested the operation of the type of plane and engine with the
auto fuel, and made any necessary changes to the engine, fuel system or
whatever. They usually are kinda expenssive in the short run, but will pay
off after a quanity of cheaper fuel has run through it. The fuel must have
no alcohol, though.
