Thanks all for the kind words and the input on the fuel valve. I corrected thatthis morning and since it was a beautiful, clear, 40 degree day in Minnesota,Iwent out for my first taxi test around the airport.It works good so far.Now the question. I have been told that when 80/87 fuel is not available 100 llcan be used adding Marvel Mystery Oil to the fuel to cut octane. How much pergal?

It isn't the octane that needs cutting. It is the lead salt that need somethinglike MMO to prevent and remove from valve stems and plugs. Doesn't it say onthe side of the can?Cy Galley, TC - Chair, Emergency Aircraft Repair, OshkoshEditor, EAA Safety Programscgalley(at)qcbc.org or sportpilot(at)eaa.orgAlways looking for articles for Sport Pilot ----- Original Message -----

That's only if you use 100LL exclusevely. Reduces lead buildup on the valves & plugs.
