Leslie,

Using TCP with 100LL keeps the lead from precipitating.  The FBO at my
airport pulled the plugs on their training plane while I watched one day
for
the necessary regular cleaning.  They had so much lead powder on them I
was
surprised they still worked adequately.  I think they WERE using TCP.

I don't know if you'd get that kind of accumulation if you do a lot of
cruising instead of the bump and go of the training plane.

100LL isn't great stuff for our engines.  It was an economic compromise
with
the high-compression crowd.  I later switched mostly to autogas.

OK folks, please bear with a technical neophyte here...

As my supply of 80 avgas has dried up, I'm now running 100LL and have had
a
number of folks recommend adding TCP to the fuel.

Question 1: who out there is using it?  Do you find it helpful?  How can
you
tell?

Question 2: in the Aircraft Spruce on-line catalog, I found the following
part numbers for TCP.  I've not heard it referred to as "concentrate"
before.   Is this the right stuff?

05-21300 ALCOR TCP CONCENTRATE QT.
05-21400 ALCOR TCP CONCENTRATE GAL.

Thanks, all.
