Guys,
As a cut line to a photo of the Renesis engine it was said:  "Renesis
also has new fuel injectors that create an ultra-fine spray pattern
and high performance spark plugs to provide improved combustion of the
fuel mix."

Question:  Would these items be useful in our 13B engines/new
manifolds and would they fit?  Food for thought for you Rotorheads.

Hi Tom,  Yes, I fly almost totally using 100LL aviation fuel.  The only downside (other than cost of course) is that the spark plugs appear to be come fouled more quickly than using automotive gasoline.  Where as folks using automotive gasoline get close to 100Hrs before change is needed, my average time on a set of spark plug is closer to 35 - 30 hours.  IT appears that the lead in the fuel shrouds the ceramic center and the build up eventually affects the spark plug.  I believe it causes current leakage and therefore hinders the voltage potential build up necessary to cause a spark.

Hi Rotorheads, Does anyone regularly fly their rotary on aviation   fuel?     Or has anyone heard of the Alcor TCP fuel   additive 'that helps lead scavenging'?   Does it   seem necessary for av-gas?  I picked that up from   this AvWeb news article:  http://www.avweb.com/newswire/10_34a/briefs/187941-1.html
