On 3 it's not neccessarily a pump failure, but the thin lines from the 
pump to the oil injectors are known to get brittle and break, and I'm 
kind of scared of having oil dripping down on my exhaust (don't ask why :)

Once you get into the habit of adding an ounze of MMO/TC-3 to your 5 
gallon cans before filling them at the local gas station and lugging 
then out to the airplane, it's not really that much of a bother. Not 
really more so than remembering to top off your MMO reservoir.

Now, you should be able to talk Ed into getting one as he's using Av gas 
(all just because his eyebrows got singed a bit :)
