Hartmut, Sorry you and Dr Eck had weather and could not make
Cottonwood this year. I was lucky to get out Ramona.
I will have to admit when I replace my Cylinders a few years age I
put on 0-200 for the 100LL valves. Before that I was using TCP. And I
found
that to be a hassle also. Lazy me, Warren

Warren. Excellent Points you make here.
My FBO start whining every time he sees me carrying canisters.
I tell him to get 80 Avgas and all would be fine. He refuses and tells me
100LL is the right stuff.
I tell him my plane is designed to use 80. 100LL is having 8 times more
lead
than 80 which itself has already twice as much lead than Premium Auto gas
used
to have (years ago). I hesitate to pump the little conti and the
environment
(as if someone really cares) full with lead if I actually would not have
to.
Also the red stuff shows me fuel leaks much better.
However. Running around the airplane with canisters is a messy business. I
agree. I wish I had more choices.
But this discussion will not go on for long because here in the bayarea
the
price for a gallon Auto Gas has skipped the $2 mark a while ago. And with
a
saving of 35 cents per Gallon who would do all the hassle.
If I only had 80 Avgas on my Airport........
