I am especially interested in anyone’s results
with ethanol mixtures and Hysol.

Auto Fuel
Bill ,
which type of auto-gas do you use,how many octanes,do you apply special
procedures or do you run your engine the same way you do with 100LL ?

Jerry,
We have been using auto gas for
8 years in our 320. No special procedures, no special tank sealer, no leaks, no
hysol deterioration, no problems.

I
am looking for ideas as to how I could ensure that my 360 wings will be
compatible with Auto gas. The wings are finished as standard using Hysol
adhesive. My engine has been built to be fully compatible with auto gas,
as are the other fuel system components. I would like the option to use
auto gas at times, partly because of concerns about future 100LL availability,
and partly for cost reasons for the future. I understand that there are
some concerns that auto gas can affect Hysol over time, and want to seal the
exposed adhesive seam in the wing tanks.
Sloshing
sealers have a bad reputation, plus there are multiple types out there, and I
do not understand all the pros and cons. I was thinking of trying to thin
Jeffco tank sealant, then introduce it into the tank through flexible clear
hose, and tilt the tank to run it along the seams. Does anyone have a
better idea? Am I right to be concerned about compatibility with the
Hysol for occasional or regular use? Any non-flaming ideas would be
welcome. Thanks.
