I’ve been using Decalin in the Corvair as recommended by William at FlyCorvair. It does cut down on lead buildup, but there definitely still is some. I’ve been trying a 50/50 mix of ethanol free gasoline and 100LL for the last 25 hours and have seen cleaner oil and less buildup compared to just 100LL with the normal amount of Decalin.
