With your combined knowledge of mechanical engine function
can you address the following?
Is their a point (Mixing Ratio) of combining 100LL AVGAS with
92RON or better MOGAS that the Reid Pressure Number stays low enough that
Pre-Ignition or Detonation is not a factor in the Continental TSIO-550, TNIO-550,
IO-550 or an M14P Radial. With the fluctuating price of refined fuels and
talk of mixing these or using auto engines (alternatives), it has me wondering.
I had heard mention that the radials can handle a blend. Have you ever obtained
dyno results on blended fuels with these powerplants? Is this a potential
with the PRISM system?
