Don,
Don't know about seals..not that many in there..do know almost all my
400 hrs has been unleaded regular..only avgas has been on trips where I
didn't have an option to get any gas except avgas..vapor lock is easier, but
car gas is a whole lot cheaper..guess it boils down to personal choice..I've
had only one problem..a bit of trash ? or something kept shutoff ball from
sealing on shutdown, and gas leaked thru aircleaner overnight..took apart,
blew out, and no more problems..only takes a minute particle to keep from
sealing..perhaps that's why they go with avgas, thinking it cleaner..plus
additaves used in some sections of country..don't use many in Fla..only
thing that ticks me off on Ellison, is that they won't sell rebuild
kits/parts..want that big chunk of change for sending back to them..it's a
very simple unit!!
Jackie
