they sell it to ya ? thats illegal as hell.

we have 100ll avgas, auto gas, dyed diesel fuel, diesel, and jet-a.
i get guys all the time that come in wanting some 100ll. it has to go into a tanker truck and they have to sign a petition saying it's not going in a drag car. if you were a little closer to me i could get you all the gas you want.

i run 100ll in my cars to keep the engines clean. you gotta watch how much you mix in though. usaully 3 to 4 cups to a full tank of gas. anymore than that you'll blow your head.

But just who exactly is gonna drive to monroe and try to find the airport just to 103 octane fuel? oh, by the way, you may be an RPM junkie, but im a speed junkie. ive almost killed my self probably 100 times just on my dirtbike, ive jumped my luv about 8 feet in the air, and many more things, including doing 135 while outrunnig a cop.

Actually, I have heard of a couple people using that same formula to make their own mix. Its supposed to work pretty good. I would use the same formula but add a little more gas to it the first couple times to make sure its kosher.












Hey look! I'm a regular!

I have used the fromulas there many times to make octane boost.

I run 94.3 or so in my T-type for when I am looking for some imports to kill.

rest of the time around 89

with 94.3 14.78 run
with 89.0 15.00 run

i wasn't aware that it was illegal to buy aviation fuel for off highway use. the only reason that it's illegal to run on the road is because it isn't taxed like road gas

BCG, be careful about running any of that shitty aviation crap in your truck. It says 100LL, but it is still a leaded fuel. You will get lots of lead deposits in your engine. I have cleaned tons of lead deposits out of aircraft sparkplugs. It is not the easiest shit to get off either. The line guys here ran that stuff in the tugs, and burned up the valves in the heads. The lead deposits in your engine will heat up, and not burn. You also have the chance for detonation.


BTW, running from cops is the stupidest thing anyone could ever do. If they are chasing you, then you must have broken the law. They are only doing their jobs.

Hel, I can get racing fuel at the Local BP. And there isn't even a race track within 200 miles of where I'm at.

The closest one is Rockingham Raceway.

Guess Im livin in the right town. Weve got maybe 5 stations that sell different race gases and a small circle track that sells to the public also. And Ive heard of people around here buying aviation fuel from the small airport here also. Why I dont know when we have stations selling the stuff they should be using. And for the idiot trying to out run cops, I hope you never kill someone else when your time is up.

The alcohol would work great, it is the same as cleaner buring ethanol blended gasoline wi have up here in Canada, is a little harder on fuel system components, but helps the engine run better, and is like putting carb cleaner through with the gas as it cleans as it flows through the engine
