wel fellas, I did recently post a pinging question and it seems as if the only real solution is less timing or more octance.
of course, less timing is less power. how retarded is that??
well my thoughts went to directly to octane and what can be done. Being a pilot, I though immediately about 100LL or 100 octance (low lead). Of course my next thought was that the older engines liked a little lead, so i set out to find the lead contenet.
As it turns out,
100LL has 2g of lead per gallon
opposed to:
91 premium having .001 g per gallon
so my next question is, will this lead content cause some harm to my engine? i doubt that i would be running 100% of avgas, but a 50-50 mix will produce a 95-96 octane rating. This would be nice, considering that 91 is the the highest available octane around here.
i spose that i wouldn't have to worry about the lead ruining a cat-converter
Even though they lowered the lead content because of the harmful side effects, i think that a 50/50 might be safe.
well if I can't do this, what other options would I have like an octane booster. are these ligit (i doubt it) but do they work?
