![]() "LCT Paintball" wrote in message news:RuMUd.77580$4q6.7306@attbi_s01... 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. -- Jim in NC |
