Hi Perry,
I contacted Chris and he is going to send me some of his
secret juice - I'll give it a try and let you know. I am going to check
and see if any of the local auto stories may have some of those plugs.
Hotter plugs would likely help.

That's why he doesn't refer to it. I sent him brief note encouraging testing
with rotary, as it would be good test of his new formulation. Either you or
Perry would be great test cases. Perry because he is so much more sensitive
to lead.

I
didn't see any mention of compatibility tests with composite tanks. Just that
it's "formulated with an environmentally friendly solvent". He seems to be a
conscientous supplier, but I do know enough about chemistry to know that I
don't know enough about chemistry.

I'll try to contact him to see if he will send me a sample. I
burn 100LL so rarely, and I have to burn it almost pure for 4 hours before the
problem shows. Who wants to buy $4.50 gas when $3.00 gas is available anyway
for local flying?
Like Ed says, the TCP doesn't work at water-cooled
engine temperatures and I verified that last summer. I also think my lead
fouling is related to the rotary spark plug design (it's very different than
most spark plugs) and that I'm running rich. Maybe there is a different spark
plug design that would be less susceptible.
I now have a set of
BUR6EQ/BUR8EQ "hotter" spark plugs from Mazdatrix, I think they were only
about $9 each. Will try those someday. Ed, maybe you should get a set and try
them since you burn 100LL all the time. Their life might be
shorter?
I'm now commuting to work everyday by airplane, it's a
wonderful way to go!
