Hi Netters,
I was curious if you can go from 100LL fuel to autogas with a
corvair if 100LL is not avalible?

I've just put over 300 hours on mine, almost exclusively on auto fuel, if
that tells you anything. It's recommended that you retard the timing a tad,
but mine is set to the

So then I can go back and forth if need be?

Hello David,
Besides the price, the only negative thing I have read about using 100LL
is its appetite for oxygen sensors. Of course, if you aren't using one
that won't be a problem.

Avgas is reckoned to be less prone to carb icing - not sure why that
would be.
The lead in avgas also helps reduces valve seat wear.
Avgas is also stored under somewhat better conditions than your average

Actually, Avgas has a lower vapor pressure, so doesn't cool the carb as
much during atomization. Thus it freezes less water out of the air and
is less prone to cause carb ice when conditions are ripe for carb icing.
Avgas is also refined diffferently and does not have the varnishes and
oils that

For those that have fiberglass tanks and are using gas with ethanol, have you
noticed any degradation in your fiberglass from it and if not what
epoxy/fiberglass system are you using? I had heard there might be a problem
and was thinking about aluminum tanks in the wings with electric fuel pump
