Thanks for the responses. I also checked with an instructor near me who flies alotof hours in his planes. He's the guy who gave Harrison Ford his taildraggerendorsement for his movie. We talked about alot of stuff, but what it boiled down to was.....As far as the auto gas melting critical rubber parts, he pointed to a CessnaL-19 out front that " had many, many hours on it with auto gas , and he lookedat the carb needle personly and it wasn't distorted or soft, seemed to be fine.As far as the lead issue,,,,,he recommended to run about 3 loads of auto gas toone of 100LL, to get the best of both worlds.the two things he told me seem to make sense, so I'll start with that.He also said that Amoco reg is what he uses. And he puts alot of hours on alotof planes.waltNX140DL(north N.J.)________________________________________________________________________________
