Avgas
Because the fuel here in Thailand is crap I am planning to run my STI7 PPP on Avgas as I can get it at the airport here in Phuket has anyone any experience of this fuel in a soob
|
do a quick search mate, theres a few threads on this subject, if i remember correctly, a few people found problems because the car was overheating.
you will need to check though as I cant remember for definate. lou x :) |
LL Avgas is low lead Avgas and lead will wreck the 'cat if you have one and won't do the sensors any good. DL
|
Thanks there are some issues with the Lambada sensor what is this
|
Is normal car fuel over there leaded anyway?
|
No its not leaded but 93 octane is about as good as it gets.If the cat gets wrecked its not a problem here as there are no emission control regulations here at least none that are enforced
|
AVGAS is generally 102 Octane "low lead" The low lead is a missnomer as far as the automotive fuel comparison is concerned. It is VERY high lead content and as explained above, it will quickly destroy your cat if you have one. The high lead content will also, in time, coat your lambda and effect its operation.
You could add Toluene or Methanol to the 93 octane or see how you get on with a stiff dose of NF octane booster. Do you have a Knock Link fitted? It would be acceptable in your circumstances. |
I used a tank of this in my old clio once years ago. the thing went like a rocket :D
