Subject: | Re: Nanchangs, Sun N Fun and Mogas |
Just my two cents for what it's worth:
In years past, I burned a lot of mogas in my -52TW, hundreds of hours. It ran better
(lower fuel flow on JPI for same cruise power setting and cleaner plugs)
than on 100LL.
Then they started putting ethanol in it and never told anyone. I could tell no
difference in how it ran, but my fuel gauges quit working. I found that by draining
the tanks and refilling with 100LL they would then work fine. After doing
this several times was when I discovered the addition of ethanol into the mogas.
The fuel gauges are capacitance type probes and it appeared that the ethanol screwed
up the probes ability to measure the quantity. I *think* these type probes
are very sensitive to the slightest amount of water and that could have been
introduced because of the ethanol. Anyway, they work fine on real mogas or 100LL,
but not with any ethanol present.
Keith, I agree, I can tell a difference with MMO in the 100LL. Spark plugs foul
up much quicker at idle on the ground without MMO.
I sure wish I could buy ethanol-free mogas here in Maryland. Even boat marinas
around here have ethanol in their gas. :(

Guys,
Not to beat a dead horse, but how difficult is it to trim your messages
and not just lazily hit reply and include a ton of extraneous info (like
I just did as an example) that all of us "Digest" guys have to sort
through? It's just poor list etiquette...
Beyond that...it costs storage space on the server (which translates to
$$$ for the host). =46rom the usage guidelines:
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
My guess is that YOU get pretty upset when some Sunday flier keys the
mic at a busy airport and says "Uhhhhhhhh, this is,uhhhh, Three Niner
Three Echooooooo....we're, uhhhh, on the 45.....uhhhh....about three
miles from, uh, entering the downwind......and, uhhhh, we'll be
landing....uhhhh...hey Jerry, you there?....."
Well, that's exactly what untrimmed posts are to this list! ;)
Thanks in advance from all of us.

LOL!
[quote="barryhancock"]Guys,
Not to beat a dead horse, but how difficult is it to trim your messages and not
just lazily hit reply and include a ton of extraneous info (like I just did as
an example) that all of us "Digest" guys have to sort through? It's just poor
list etiquette...
Beyond that...it costs storage space on the server (which translates to $$$ for
the host). From the usage guidelines:
- When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post in your
response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the
reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that
quoting the entire original post has on the size of the archive
can not be overstated!
My guess is that YOU get pretty upset when some Sunday flier keys the mic at a
busy airport and says "Uhhhhhhhh, this is,uhhhh, Three Niner Three Echooooooo....we're,
uhhhh, on the 45.....uhhhh....about three miles from, uh, entering the
downwind......and, uhhhh, we'll be landing....uhhhh...hey Jerry, you there?....."
Well, that's exactly what untrimmed posts are to this list! ;)
Thanks in advance from all of us.

A consideration for Mogas containing ethanol might be to use Marine Stabil.
[url=http://www.goldeagle.com/brands/stabil/products.aspx#marine_formula]http://www.goldeagle.com/brands/stabil/products.aspx#marine_formula[/url]
Comes out to about 6 cents per gallon to treat your fuel. I always use 2oz of
MMO per 5 gal as well
Thoughts?

Nice that it fights the hygroscopic effect of ethanol, but of course
that doesn't keep it from eating seals, etc. Also, is spalling also
an issue with ethanol? Apparently, the guys who use MoGas never use a
version with ethanol, but I think that there can be a certain amount

This is an excellent thread! With oil on the rise and aircraft capable of running
on lower octane fuels it is worth well worth the discussion.
My own use of Mo-gas has consisted of running ethanol free fuel from Canada (I'd
do this all day long if I could easily get it) and occasionally buying 10 gallons
or so of E10 from the local pump to mix with 100LL. I've always felt comfortable
with the E10 especially since I never mixed more than 50-50. My concerns
about running straight loads of E10 would involve the "staleness" of the fuel
after a week or so and phase separation. The latter being the most worrisome
to me until I read the attached letter. That said, my biggest concern running
straight E10 Mo-gas would still be that issue. In an earlier post I had thrown
out the possibility of adding the marine formulation of Stabil. I MAY have
read this prevents phase separation but I have yet to see actual data supporting
it. There are, however, other additives that do have supporting data that
suggests they will prevent phase separation.
Additionally, as one poster suggested I am also concerned about the lack of lead
and my valves.
My 100 or so hours a year would translate into 1200-1500 dollars give or take in
saving vs 100LL. For my piece of mind I'd rather get the ethanol free fuel when
I can and continue to do my occasional 5-10 gallons of E10 than go straight
E-10 Mo-gas.
