Default MoGas Tips, Tricks, Concerns, How To

("M" wrote)
So you point is that lead scavenging agent isn't needed because there's
not that much lead in the 100LL?



My curiosity was: What quantity (by weight) of lead is in 100 gallons of
100LL?

I picked 100 gallons because I didn't want some small fraction. As it turns
out, 2 grams/gallon is not a small fraction.

I used the term "actual lead" because I wanted to know the amount of lead
left behind if "everything" else were to be distilled away.

My side point was: Lead = "ATTACK!" to the Greens ...1 gram, 2 grams, 15
grams, 0.14 grams, doesn't matter to them - it's LEAD!!!

[Thanks to Jim L]
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avgas :
"Avgas 100LL contains a maximum of 2 grams of lead per US gallon"

1,000 grams (kilo) = 2.2 lbs
500 gallons of 100LL = 2.2 lbs of lead.

Now the world make sense to me.
