The following is from the Alcor website (http://www.alcorinc.com/fuel-treatment/product-07-07.php):
"73122 TCP - 1 Quart ELIMINATE SPARK PLUG LEAD FOULING! Since the introduction of 100LL as the main fuel for low-compression engines, Alcor has been a leader in providing pilots a fuel treatment that eliminates lead before it can cause fouling. A simple one-shot treatment with every fill-up prevents lead build-up on spark plugs and valves. Rely on the one-and-only Alcor TCP Fuel Treatment for a cleaner and smoother-running engine! Note: TCP is not to be carried aboard aircraft" At least the company that manufactures the product says that you should not carry it onboard. I am not sure what HAZMAT rules and regulations you might also run afoul when transporting in your Ercoupe. But I won't tell anyone if you don't tell anyone... oops... too late for that! My caution is to be careful. There are other fuel treatment products available that contain the active ingredient TCP that do not have such a restriction or warning. If you need to use the namebrand product from Alcor, be advised that the government has placed it under HAZMAT regulations.
