Ed, The plane is STC'd for auto fuel. I used one or two tankfulls of autofuel back in the 80's. Other than that, I have always used AvGas (80 when you could get it, 100LL now). I use only 100LL now.

In this I’m completely ignorant. This gives us a count of 2 out of 2 Alons with the brown coating. Anyone else know anything? Wayne, do you use Autofuel or just 100LL? Ed From: Wayne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2007 8:01 AM To: Ed Burkhead Subject: Slosh:: Hi Ed. My Alon has some sort of brown colored coating within all the tanks, and I don't think any of the tanks have ever been removed. It would seem that an adequate "slosh" coating would be difficult with the tanks still on the airframe! Once in a while, if the airplane sits for a period of time (a month) it will show some impurities in the test sample, but only small flecks, and I'm not so sure it is the sloshing compound. I have run a good deal of fuel through that puppy, and I have never experienced any fuel clog problem, only fuel problem I have experienced was with a fuel deficiency due to air in the fuel delivery line.
