 Aviation fuel Anybody run av gas in their mudmotor? I had a couple gallons left over from my airboat so I dumped it in the GTR tank. I probably had about 6 gallons in my 10 gallon tank when I added the av gas. I know the av gas is leaded so I dont know if doing this often would hurt anything. It sure smells good though. Let me know some thoughts on the situation.

Re: Aviation fuel Why would you waste AV Gas in a MM when you have a Airboat that needs it?

Re: Aviation fuel Also works great in all your two-stroke engines like chainsaws , weedeaters etc, it doesn't break down and varnish clogging carbs and will not eat rubber hoses like ethanol, has about a two year shelf life versus about a month for pump crap only problem it evaporates very quickly. I run it in all my stuff that I don't use often only about 30 cents more than SU around Franklin LA.

Re: Aviation fuel i ran 100LL in my 2000 Silverado a few times and had no problem with it. Had to pull 5 gallons a day out of the sump and just made sure there was no water or dirt in it.

Re: Aviation fuel U will be fine running it. I run it in my polaris ranger, GTR, weedeater and echo blower. As far as running straight AV gas you really need a high compression motor or a bit more timing advance. AV gas has a slow burn rate so if you are not hot on your spark it tends to leave alot of lead deposits in the exhaust ports, combustion chamber and on top of the pistons and valves. It was pretty scary when I did my first plug check on the AV gas and the plugs were grey  . Actually the color should be grey to light grey on the plug when running AV.
