Default Thanks... Confirmed my thoughts...

MOST airplane fuel is leaded... some is not. But this does seem like a cheap alternative. Will look into it. So during the summers..... straight toulene!!! NYAAA!!!!!

Default yeah most AVgas is leaded.....

...and they don't always label the pumps as such. There have even been reports of race track fuel station attendants not knowing if their race gas was unleaded. You really have to get it from a reliable source or you can do a lot of damage, not only to your cat (if you accidentally burn leaded fuel), but also to the motor itself if you burn less octane that it needs to avoid detonation. Not worth the risk for a few more HP...

Default Not true.

That's not true...Unocal 76's Competition 100(unleaded) racing fuel has blue dye in it. I run it all the time and have never had a problem with the dye screwing up the injectors.

Default That's a different dye...

even the fuel injected aero engines which are supposed to use 100LL avgas have some problems with the dye.
