Russell,

I don’t have a good contact at Continental to ask about t= his, but if you’re going to Oshkosh, the experts to ask will be there. Also, George Braly, gwbraly@gami.com; or Tim Roehl, troehl@gam= i.com, at G= AMI, www.gami.com, would have reliable answe= rs on this.

 

The generally held wisdom is that the big-bore Continentals won= ’t survive long on less than 100 octane fuel, but the GAMI folks have done extensive testing on this specific issue and = would provide reliable/dependable answers. Again, OSH is a good place to ca= tch them later this month.
