Someone told me that Wick's had one, but I never could find = it=20 online. Anyone know of such a pump?

Being able to run 87 octane is going to be one of the = benefits of=20 getting rid of the turbo.

On another fuel = note, I was=20 complaining earlier about my 2-stroke oil separating from the fuel, but = I think=20 I was mistaken. After 4 months, my oil was still very well mixed = in the=20 plane, so I think the problem was that I didn't get the oil mixed in the = first=20 place before. I had added the full tank's worth of oil when it was = basically empty. I figured that filling the tank, and taxiing back = to the=20 hanger would mix it, but I guess it didn't. I now believe that = mixing it=20 well the first time is the key.

Cheers,

Rusty (filling = that 34=20 gallon tank will be painful)
