I thought one objective was to avoid using the 100LL in engines that

Wouldn't prunes give them gas?


Although gas might be a byproduct, prunes are primarily an agent for
cleaning out all the old crap which should leave the engine nice and
clean on the inside.

Yes, but would the gas be Mogas or 100LL?


Prunes are "nature's dynamite and will clean out old or new pipes
regardless of what you've been running though them. They add a bit of
