Can you run airplane fuel in a rotary insteed of race gas. I have a buddy that flys planes he said at the airport they are only paying 2.60 for low-lead 100 octane prop fuel. Hell thats only 40 more cents a gallon and i can tune to run 100 octane all the time !!!! can this be done?

Sure can! Crank up the boost too!

not good for n/a's i take it?

**** i'm deff turning up the boost! if this turns out to be true this is goin to be very very cool. Hell turbo blue race gas costs over 5.15 a gallon, screw that go to the airport!!!! He said something about other grades of gas like Jet A any one know the octane ratings and info on this stuff?

It works just fine. Ive been known to run it occasionally. BUT, its going to severely shorten the life of your O2 sensor and cat if you have one.

the gas I fill up on, would be gone by the time I get back home from the airport...basically, it's a long drive and still with no 5th gear on the highway...think about it fellaz

You need a good hookup. I used to work at an Airfield too in 1983 and back then 105 Unleaded Av-Fuel was $2.25 a gallon. Hmmmm... So in 20 years Av-Fuel has only gone up $0.15. Makes you wonder.



Same with Can-Am its price never changes but the regular pump gas does.

Umm this might sound pretty dumb but ... Where do you get "race" gas? LOL



(just curious)
