| Subject: | AvGas Available at local MoGas Stations |
Gang:
I was just informed of an article in the NEWARK STAR LEDGER (NEWARK, NJ
NEWSPAPER), Page 21.
Gas Stations being shut down because they are selling AVIATION GAS!!!
Too bad I did not know which station were selling it... I would have loaded
up! Especially at $3.60 a Gallon. <-- High Test. Maybe it was in the
REGULAR Pumps at $3.26 a Gallon???
But, the questions have to be asked:
1 - If there is so much control over AvGas <--- So they say as to keep
prices high. Where was the control on the delivery?
2 - Was AvGAs put into uncontrolled MoGas delivery vehicles?
3 - Was MoGas put into uncontrolled AvGas delivery vehicles?
4 - Have the Controlled Delivery Vehicles now been contaminated with MoGas?
5 - OMG ! ! ! ... What will our Ever Vigilant EPA do now that LEAD is being
burned by surface vehicles? And...
6 - Who picks up the $TAB$ on the destroyed Catalytic Converters. <--- NJ
in all their wisdom has done away with automobile inspection. Except
for EMISSIONS TESTING. So, if your car fails and you don't even know you
had a load of AvGas who pays for the repairs??? AND even if you do know...
WHO PAYS!
No coffee as yet so these are the only questions I can come up with at this
time.
Maybe you have a few to ask?

Six NJ Gas Stations Mistakenly Fed
100LL<http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/100LL_delivered_new_jersey_gas_stations_lead_fuel_207840-1.html>

(Dec 12 2012)
The state of New Jersey confirmed Wednesday that six automotive gas
stations received and sold leaded aviation fuel to drivers before the
mistake was discovered and the sales were shut down. The fuel was delivered
by eight tankers between Dec. 5 and Dec. 7 to six gas stations owned by the
same company. In a statement from the Division of Consumer Affairs, the
fuel was not directly identified as 100LL. The agency said the fuel was
"rated at 104.7 octane compared to 93 octane for super unleaded," and
contained "a small amount of lead." It was mistakenly sold to motorists as
super unleaded. According to the agency, it "should not cause damage to
vehicles engines." Click through for a link to the release from Consumer
Affairs and a list of affected stations.

They think it will not affect the engine... The engine NO! But
the Catalytic Converter and maybe the O2 Sensor and the MAP Sensor?

A single tank of 100LL wont affect the O2 sensor (unless perhaps they are
wideband sensors - which only specalized cars use). I had a couple dozen
tanks of 100LL through my engine before my O2 sensor significantly degraded
its signal.
The cat is a different story. I have heard that even a single tank can
significantly degrade its function. Not srue about that though.
