AV gas

[Nonhighwayservice]

Does running aviation fuel in a stock 2 stroke do any damage? I know the turbo guys and the done up sleds run it. Any advantages or disadvantages? I have always run 94 octane from chevron.

Won't hurt anything. If your motor doesn't need it, you will make LESS power though.

 

[Nonhighwayservice]

Why does it make less power?

slower burn

slower burn

Hmmm, no kidding? I thought it would have been the opposite.
Good to know, thanks.

Less octane you can get away with running the better off your gonna be

I guess I'll switch to shell 91 octane then from chevron 94. Does anyone know if shell has ethanol in their v-power fuel?

They do not. I run Shell 91 in all my toys.

The higher the octane number the harder the fuel is to ignite. This means it is less prone to detonation so you can run higher compression and more advanced ignition timing.

Thanks for the explanation. Like your location too, gotta love Corb.

remember in bc. chevron 94 is the only fuel trucked in. all others come thru the pipe line. chevron 94 is way cleaner. get a clear container and check it out. reg fuel is almost yellow and lots of crap in it.

Isn't there a chevron refinery in Burnaby?

So Where does say Shell V-Power get pipelined in from? I find it hard to believe that much of BC doesn't have natural gas service but there are gasoline pipelines all over the place.

In our corner of BC all fuel is trucked in, no gasoline pipelines here. I burn Shell 91 colored, it is way cheaper if you have a barrel to store it in.
