Can I Run Av 110 Ll


Recommended Posts

At my local airport they sell only 100LL. I never could get the 110LL, so only used 100LL. If you have 110LL you are not going to need all of the octane unless you are at 190 + compression. The aviation fuel is very consistant, FFA rules and all. It will run a little hotter than gas, because they use alcohol to boost it. I just left my jetting alone, but you should check your plugs and change if nessasary. I was running Amsoil 2000 with it and the plugs looked light brown and greenish. I have switched to a mix of 2gals of Trick to 3gal of 92 octane. The price worked out to the same without the added heat. I would still run it but like the other mix better.

100LL Avgas has a shitload of lead in it! I believe it has more than old leaded car gas!

 

Also 100LL is actually 110 octane at the pump. The 100 octane rating is at a very lean condition, and this is how it is rated. 100LL avgas is also rated at 120 octane at a very rich condition. They conduct these tests to see how resistant avgas is at different altitudes, mixture settings, and temperatures since they change quite a bit with altitude.
