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?

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.

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.
