Bonjour
Alain,
We have used
93 octane car gas WITHOUT
ethanol for 1600 hours over 8 years. I would NOT use any fuel
containing
ethanol in the plane and I try to avoid it in my car. Here
in Virginia we can
still get gas without ethanol but we test for it each time
before we fill up our jugs. On the road, we buy avgas, but on average,
I’d
say that about 75% of the fuel that we use is car gas. We use no
special
procedures, just normal operation. Our engine is an O-320 with standard
8.5:1
pistons. I would not recommend using 100% car gas in the big bore
engines,
turbocharged engines or engines with high compression pistons.
I have
inspected the interior of the tanks
with a fiber optic scope and have noticed no deterioration of the tank
sealer
or the exposed hysol.

Bill ,
which type of auto-gas do you use,how many
octanes,do
you apply special procedures or do you run your engine the same way you
do with
100LL ?
