We have a 1964 Cessna 172E with a Continental 0-300D. It has the AutoGas STC, but we've never used anything but
100LL. We've had some lead deposits and a stuck valve last spring.

With the rising cost of 100LL at our airport, I'm looking at starting to use 87 Unleaded auto gas.

Is there a resource for tips on using MoGas? Filtering, checking for alcohol, vapor lock problems, freshness, water,
etc.

I've seen Jay's "Mightly Grape" on the web but that might be a little overkill for us.

Right now our co-op is selling 100LL for $3.70 and MoGas is just under $3. We'd save about $6 per hour on MoGas. Is
it worth the risk and hassle. I don't know how excited I can get about lifting a 5 gallon jub up to fill a
high-winger.

Just hungry for some info. Thanks in advance from the group.

I do the 5 gallons up to the wing all the time on the 1960 172A. Good exercise and runs great. I put a old piece of
carpet under the fuel jug and then tip it over and in to the tank. Only spilt a drop or two in 100 of gallons. See:
http://www.eaa.org/education/fuel/index.html for all kinds of info. The engine runs fine winter and summer. I do put in
a little 100LL on occasion and when XC...
