MoGas Tips, Tricks, Concerns, How To
The major Mogas concern I have is that so few have endorsed the
concept, that it may not ever get to critical mass. The engine manufacturers ignore it or don't support it, the AOPA never mentions it, many FBOs simply state "our insurance won't cover it", the hodge podge of state gasahol laws are eroding the practicality of it all, and lastly we owners of low compression engines simply are not using it anywhere near as much as we should. Mogas is simply assumed by most "real pilots" and mechanics to be a substitute fuel, inferior or harmful to engines, and something that is only used by a small minority of old aircraft owners. For those and probably still other reasons, mogas isn't widely available for cross country use. The advantages of Mogas are only talked about in forums such as these. Mogas users have to get this situation changed. Some day 100LL is going to disappear by an EPA mandate & then where will we be? I feel the 100LL users are whistling in the dark as no substitutes seem to be forthcoming to their leaded fuel. |
