MoGas Tips, Tricks, Concerns, How To

I see. My point on the other hand has nothing to do with the lack of
greeness of 100LL. My point is that the bromine in the lead scavenging
agent is corrosive to the engine after the combustian event. We live
with it because the high compression engine needs it to get rid of the
lead. But for 1:7 compression engines this corrosive compound is an
entirely unnecessary evil because the engine doesn't need the extra
octane from TEL. By getting rid of TEL we get rid of bromine in the
engine (lead bromide reacts with water to form hydrobromide acid). Too
bad mogas is the only unleaded fuel we can get for our LC engines at
this point.

What would your unleaded fuel of choice be?

How would it be different than MoGas?

Um, hydrogen? propane? 100% ethanol?

An unleaded aviation fuel with the same quality control and tracking as
100LL would be ideal. Unfortunatley that's not going to happen anytime
soon. For the time being I'll just keep doing my own alcohol test and
filling up with mogas.

Good old 80/87. But that's not coming back.

Uhhh, 80/67 had lead in it....

Uhhh, no it didn't. It was allowed a MAXIMUM of 0.5 ml / gallon of TEL, but
from the '50s on, the actual TEL count was zero in 80.

Thanks Jim. That's the first I had heard that...but it was not declared as no-lead fuel, so the post asking for what was
the favorite unleaded fuel was a loaded question, eh?
