My understanding is that some older car engines need lead to prevent valve recession, whatever that is. The lead gets deposited on the valve seat and lubricates the valve in some way. It is necessary to 'top up' the lead deposits periodically by running leaded fuel.
I don't know whether any of this applies to your engine or not.=20 Some partnerships charge partners per hour for usage of the aircraft, including an allowance for maintenance, and including an allowance for fuel.

With our usage the plane will be fueled away from home at least one or two out of every ten tanks. Keeping up with the alternating fuel types is not that easy in a partnership. The fair way to buy fuel in a partnership is for each partner to fill it up after using it, but that can get lopsided if one partner is filling mostly with auto fuel and the other with avgas. ____________________________________________________ Learn real skills for the real world - Apply online at http://www.ucol.ac.nz or call 0800 GO UCOL (0800 46 8265) or txt free 3388 for more information and make a good move to UCOL =96 Universal College of Learning.
