Pelican's Perch #55:
Lead in the Hogwash

When 100/130 was the standard, the mix
limit was four grams of lead per gallon, but in reality the actual
blends
were around 2.7, for the same reasons. (There are about 6.0 pounds, or
about
2,721 grams in a gallon of 100LL, so the lead is less than 0.0735%, by
weight.)"

Ok, fuel is 6 lbs/gallon, and the quote says there is 6 lbs of lead in a
gallon...what????


100/130 is four grams of lead per gallon (actually 2.7) and there are 2721
grams in a gallon.

Read it again and this time pause at the "(". :~)
