Tim, Be sure you comply with all the guidance in the STC. I seem to recall I received auto fuel stickers for the tanks, I had to make an entry in the aircraft log book and/or had to have a copy of the STC in the plane at all times. It gave all the info in the STC papers. With that, you're good to go with car gas. I bought new fuel cans and used them for nothing else. I kept them very clean. I'd fill the cans on the way to the airport. When you buy your gas, it's good to use the olive bottle test to check for water and alcohol. (Fill bottle to a mark with water, then fill with fuel. Put on the lid and shake then let it settle out. If the "water" level is higher than the mark, there was water or fuel in the gasoline.) Some people get the siphon hoses with the built-in starter hand-pump. Then, with the cans setting on the wing root, you can easily fill the wing tanks. You may hear people tell you that you're more susceptible for carb ice with auto fuel. I'm still skeptical on this thought. I certainly never had problems nor have most of us who used auto fuel for many years. Be aware of the thought, though, and maybe have your co-pilot call out rough engine and you pull the carb heat for practice sometimes.

This was something I wanted to do at some point but with this already in the books, am I good to go with auto fuel?? At that point in its history the plane had the original engine (C85). It now has the O-200. Any advice in this area would be appreciated.
