Another thing to watch out for is that the SG of Avgas and Auto Fuel differs. This means that the float level in bowl carbies alters and thus affects mixtures. Hence the requirement in the STCs for floats to be adjusted and jets to recalibrated. In my Weber the float difference is about 3.5 mm thus making the adjustments as indicated in the Weber manual for Auto fuel incorrect for Avgas.
