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.

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.
