80/87 Fuel

It's pretty hard to get 80/87 anywhere now .... I certainly wouldn't
use that Hammond junk !! (I've lost a fuel line to it ! ) You can add
TSP(??) to 100 LL to reduce the lead, and it looks like that's what
we'll have to do until they discontinue 100LL in a couple of years !! :-(

I don't know of anywhere on the route that has 80/87 - there is
auto fuel at Okotoks, and perhaps one other spot. Haven't visited any
of the places south of the border between Libby and Grand Forks ...
Unfortunately, the auto fuel is Regular (80 octane), so no good for
the 912's. We have run the 912 for 50 hours at a time on 100LL - it
cleans up quickly again after a couple of tanks of Shell Gold....
doesn't seem to bother it much. I've always run 100LL in the O-235,
but I do run Shell Bronze in the other tank as often as I can...

Anybody out there know what's available for fuel ???

80/87 Fuel

www.airnav.com has a fuel stop planner... you punch in were you're going
and what you're fuel requirements are, and it will tell you where you can
find it and how much they're charging. They've got some other good
planning tools also.
