The documentation that I received with my Ellison throttle body states that it
is intended to use 100 LL only. I assume that this is specified at the behest
of their attorney, but could be that the seals and diaphragm wouldn't tolerate
the wide rank of stuff in car gas.
Has anyone used car gas

Here is the problem. Steve says to use only Auto Fuel, Ellison says to use
only Aviation Fuel. I have a GPASC VW with an Ellison carb.
Now ain't that a catch22?
Yes, one of the really bad components of Auto Fuel can be alcohol.
I asked Ellison why they did not make their carb to hold up to Auto Fuel and
they told me that it was because they could not know what was in the auto fuel

Hi Dan,
I've run AvGas exclusively in my 2180 without problem (at least as far
