Race Gas?
Re: Race Gas? The aircraft fuel is still leaded. It is marked "low lead", but that is not "unleaded". It is not really the stuff you want for a fuel injected vehicle (it still kills O2 sensors).

Re: Race Gas? My understanding of "Jet Fuel" was it was a more highly refined diesel, more like kerosene? Although diesel and kerosene are very close in properties. Keep in mind there are almost as many types of Jet Fuel as there are jet planes, especially in military applications many fuels are specially designed for the application.
I think the gas dude29662 was referring to was regular "Av Gas" for regular piston type engines, as opposed to "Jet" fuel. The "Av Gas" was very popular for a while in dirt bike circles because it's high octane, readily available, and relatively cheap. But Av Gas lacks some of the properties that ordinary gas has, and often causes more problems than it's worth, or so I've heard. Something with the additives I believe but I'm not entirely clear on the subject.

Re: Race Gas? You guys need to check how the octane ratings are done.
"Jet Fuel", if I am not mistaking, uses a different rating system. Keep in mind this fuel is for high altitude low oxygen environment i.e. high altitude. If I am correct 104 oct jet-fuel is something close to 93-94 oct automobile fuel.
You best bet is just to buy race gas that is sold at the track.

Re: Race Gas? I have used Trick Racing fuel sold thru 76, 114 yep leaded. Mix a little no problem, use it samn near straight and you need to up your timing lemme tell ya!
No O2 problems as of yet, but I dont plan on continued use of this either.
