AVgas has different properties to the leaded race ffuel used in US
Supras etc, so no thanks.

Not very much my friend, the composition is basically the
same. The only difference really is the additives in the AVgas are not suitable for warm weather. We had our first 'frost' last night and the days are colder so stop the excuses, put up or alternatively... |

Well, just going on what i've read on the US forums, they use a lot
of leaded race fuel, but do NOT recommend the use of AVgas.

Mostly for the reason I have outlined, it is cooler now, the flash
point and boiling point is now suitable. I do understand your 'evasion' though, as within a month your motor will be ruined. Leaded race fuel is for race engines which are built to a design with materials unaffected by it. Road cars are built to a price, the materials will always be selected with this in mind, Japanese engines have been designed since 1978 to run unleaded, lead has been 'out of the picture' for so long. This 'diversion' has served a purpose though, please THINK before you POST. End of. (As far as I'm concerned) |

Do you remember the Fiat Coupe forum??? Does the name Nigel ring a
bell?

Hmm, still keep an eye on the forum full of idiots? Sad
indeed.
Its you with the issues. Mods, please do delte this stuff, but not the previous things on leaded fuel etc, as that is all simply discussion. __________________ Supra MKIV x 2 R6 *rip* Soarer TT |

There are various race fuels that are lead free and the Guy on your
site to seek advice from is Chris Wilson, he (I believe) uses it so can
probably supply you at a reasonable cost. He may even have some tolly
kicking around. (for that little bit 'extra' when it's needed ;-)

This thread is too valuable to risk an irrelevant tangent.
Mycroft has contributed significantly to the discussion of Octane on this BBS, I'd be very grateful if we could keep the thread on topic and any personal discussions offline. Keep up the good work. Cem |
