Dear Friends. The best documentation about the use of Auto Gas versus 100ll is the one of Peterson Aviation. http://www.autofuelstc.com/pa/petersenaviation.html Reading these articles encouraged me to keep using Auto Gas in my Ercoupe. I am flying ones a week and could not discover any bad effects by using Avgas. The tanks are clean , never had any signs of vapor lock, the spark plugs are working at their optimum. I lean at higher altitudes and on cross country's I try to find good priced AvGas 80 . The red dye of this marvelous stuff helped me discovering leaks before they became real problems! The articles on the website above mention somewhere that lead will not be washed out of the valve seats for 75 hours or so. I figured that due to my cross country flights a sufficient amount of lead is supplied. The only problem is how to get the gas to the aircraft. I bought two 5 Gallon canisters which I fill up on my way to the airport. The tricky part is how to hold the canisters when filling the tanks so you don't spill everything over the walkways.
