I thought that autogas was popular for several reasons: a) lead b) price ..... Gas bought by a FBO or club should be free of highway taxes but I suspect will instead incur aviation fuel taxes... -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 |

And if you thought lead was bad, those prunes REALLY gum up the works.

I thought one objective was to avoid using the 100LL in engines that were prune to lead fouling. Yeah, we are into the summer time haul the grandkids routine where I burn oodles of avcrap because I am fueling faster than I can haul it and I am fueling at strange airports and some are really strange... Fat Albert's engines are already grumping at me about it... denny |

I really doubt that the terminal operators are so ignorant as to make that a problem. Ha! OTOH, there are some real problems for the FBO to overcome. One FBO owner, who I know, stopped selling gasolene several years ago--saying that he sometimes suspected that he lost more to evaporation than he pumped. That's a "selling autogas" problem; vice "finding un-Ethenol'ed autogas to sell" one. Agreed the first may be an issue.. BUT if you have a gaggle of STA'ed aircraft owners based there and you but not evry EatHerAndGetGas sells what they want and need....

The whole idea was to be able to use normal autogas in these old low compression engines. No, the point was to be able to use gasoline with less lead than the currently available 100LL AvGas whick gives many older engines "morning sickness" due to lead deposits making valves sluggish. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
