Eyesa Horg 1,743 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Since they had hoses long enough to reach and it appears to be a common plane stop, I'm thinkin' they've got AV gas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eyesa Horg 1,743 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Wow, you'd think they'd at least use premium. I would be worried about water in the fuel. It's really hard to pull over up there if things go wonky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No, it’s a separate tightly controlled refining process. Avgas is 100 Octane LL (low lead). Some engines can be converted to run on 87 octane auto gas, but don’t develop the power of the others.

Sedalia Dave 13,556 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 AvGas typically goes through a fuel water separator before going into your tank. A few aircraft manufacturers have certified their engines to operate on 87 octane unleaded auto fuel as long as it does not contain ethanol. Special additives are added to the oil and sometimes the fuel. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
