WE run av gas in our blaster w/ NO problems what so ever I think it's 102 octane? In fact when we tore it down to replace the piston it was VERY clean in there we were surprised! NO ours in NOT stock [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Just try it see what ya think, it's not gonna hurt if you try it.

Now here's a ? How much does everyone pay per gl of AV gas???? I think we are paying 3.29gl it WAS 2 something last winter!!

 

a slit in my mom, or so they say!

i never said it doesn't contain combustion chamber cleaning aditives all i said is there doesn't seem to be any more than in pump gas which also has cleaning aditives. i was simply stating that a from what i could tell it was not going to take the film of oil off my internals. and why would i want to drop the octane if i have high compression??? from what i read in the link above you would wan't to mix it to get the heavier molocules of gas, not for the purpouse of dropping the octane, remember we are trying to raise the octane big guy.

 

Hey Beech,

Are those ***** real?

 

The only Av gas I have seen is the 100LL at the airport.
Not saying others arent avail, obviously they are, but 100LL is the only one I've seen.

Its EFFECTIVE octane is however, quite a bit higher than 100, so you can't just look at it as only good up to that octane.

Yes, it is safe to run, and is a lot more consistent that pump gas.
It is also a lot cheaper than race gas, though like Dabeech said, it can give a little bit of lazy throttle response. Some people simply advance thier timing to make up for it.

 

how much does this av gas cost? is it cheaper than vp fuel

 

Depends on your location, but usually yes. VP is fricking expensive.

 

Oh yes LOTS cheaper [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] As for our area we pay about $3.29gl for AV & VP is like $5 something a gl [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] GOOD LUCK!!

 

i paid $2.70 last weekend(non member price,100LL) at falcon field and at the cycle shop i work at we sell F & L race gas(leaded 111 and unleaded 101) for $6 a gallon even with my discount its still $5 a gallon. well unless i pull the unlocked drum discount!haha but no i would never do that.
