    According to the MSDS on StarTron gasoline additive, it is over 95% Naphtha. You've seen this before in many places, for example Coleman Camp Fuel. It is considered an adulterant to gasoline. It is not soluble in water so I am have trouble seeing how it would (per their website)... "Star Tron breaks down this excess water and sludge to sub-micron size allowing it to be safely burned away during normal engine operation. Therefore Star Tron prevents phase separation and fuel gelling, eliminating ethanol fuel problems." My Opinion: - Buy fresh fuel from a very high traffic retailer. - Keep your tank full of fresh fuel so there is no airspace above the fuel for moist air to condense into water. - I doubt that we will be seeing E-15 anytime soon. The recent EPA approval is only the first step in permitting it and there are many powerful entities inside and outside the governement who do NOT want this to happen. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x32 Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

    Very nice pictures! How was the flight home? One day last week, my wife and I took a ride on the Valkyrie. I wanted to see where Elizabethville was. Is your landing strip just off 209, with about four hangers? I could see the wind sock from the road. Lanny N598LF PS, I was told there would be two fly-ins at Benton each year. One in April and one in October. One of the owners said they would post the dates on www.flyins.com

    I meant to minimize the airspace at the top of the tank. I.E., don't leave it half empty. The more airspace there is, the more likely a drop in temperature will result in condensation. At the risk of inviting criticism I will offer the following, FWIW. The thermal cooefficient of gasoline is about 0.00069/F. For a really bad case scenario example let's assume that when you fuel your Kolb the temperature is at water's freezing point (32F) in on an early desert morning. And then the temp during the day rises to 110F. That is a change of 78F. This means that one gallon of fuel at 32F increases in volume by 78 x .00069 gallons or .05382 gallons, i.e. a bit over 5% in this worst case scenario. In a 10 gallon tank, leaving a smidge over 1/2 gallon of airspace at the top would accommodate this worst case scenario for gasoline expansion with temperature rise of 78F. A 25 gallon tank would require about 1 1/4 gallon of airspace. However, since there is nothing in most fuel systems to keep the fuel from expanding through the fuel lines to the carburetor(s), even if there was no airspace at all available for thermal expansion, it would simply bleed out the carb as it expanded and evaporate in the free air. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x32 Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

The design of my new metal tank is such that I can't quite fill it to the top, since the filler neck extends slightly down into the tank, so there's always some airspace, perhaps 1/3 gallon. This may have been intentional on the part of the tank builder, I don't know. The vent at the top of my tank has two spring loaded check valves, and an unvented cap. One lets air into the tank at 1/2 psi for normal running; the other lets air out of the tank at 6psi to a vent tube that runs down to the bottom of the aircraft. I have to turn off the fuel valve going to the engine when I'm done flying or the tank will leak through the carburetor, as the float needle is brass, not rubber. -Dana -- When authorities warn you of the sinfulness of sex, there is an important lesson to be learned.

    Lenny, Thanks, Yes we had a very good flight back home. Circled over Dennis Souder's place on the way but did not land there because we were running out of time. I do not live near Elizabethville but Elizabethtown. Here is a link that should show you my place. Runway is along the farm lane. 1708 Ridge Rd I'll make a note on my calendar about the for the April fly-in. This Benton fly-in was a very good start for what I hope will become a regular annual event for many years to come. Benton is an ideal location and the event was well organized and provided us all a very enjoyable flying experience. Hope to see you there again.

    Dana, Closing the fuel shutoff valve from the tank to the carbs will definitely keep the fuel from migrating to the carbs. Your vent system should accommodate any thermal expansion of the gasoline that the airspace does not. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 Jabiru 2200A #1574 Tennessee Prop 64x32 Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.

    Frank, I took the contrail picts in western Lancaster Co PA looking east towards Philadelphia, on the morning of Oct 18. I counted at least 21 different contrails visible at one time that morning, most all heading more or less towards Chicago and points west. Just to keep this more or less Kolb related I'll include this photo of the Mk II, but please don't get nervous about the trees.

    These are called "chemtrails" and are different than the usual contrails from aircraft engines. They are aerosols being sprayed into the atmosphere for reasons not known. They can be seen all over the world since about 1998. Do a google search.

    Subject: Re: Okla City Turnaround
    From: Richard Neilsen <neilsenrm@gmail.com>
    I just changed the address on my airplane with the FAA about 8 months ago and it appears they want me to renew it again and pay this time. I would really like to change registration providers or just say no but.... They sa y they need us to renew our registration to better keep track what planes are still flying. Seems like they could check with the state aviation people. I register my airplane with the state EVERY YEAR. Are they going to require all automobiles to register with the Feds? I'm in Florida now for the winter without my airplane. I'm planning to rent something to fill my winter flying needs. Let me know when when you Florida guys are flying some where I might just show up in some non Kolb.
