1/2 QUART OF TRANNY FLUID TO A TANK FOR LUBRICATION Its a dry fuel, and will score the crap out of the cylinders and eat valve seats,

Funny how some people say, "no tranny fluid in the diesel!" "It has no lubricating properties."

If you pour ATF in the gas it will lower the octane.

I worked for a fbo a year ago and was qc for 100ll and jet-a i had endless supply of 100ll and gave 100s of gallons to racers who wanted some, 100ll is a slightly lighter specific gravity compared to auto gas,in other words its lighter in weight,it has no additives compared to auto gas it does have stablilizer cuz some planes sit in hangars for a while, it does not cause corrision, if it did it wouldnt be safe for aircraft, it has ALMOST zero water in it, there is no additive to displace water in gasoline,at high altitudes water will freeze in the fuel lines and would block the fuel to the aircraft motor and down it will go,sumping aircraft fuel tanks are a must before flights, an aircrafts engines toughest chore is to get down the runway and up to speed,so its safe to use just re jet slightly for it and add some marvel mystery oil i can go on and on but hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.. I always run vp or sunoco
110 leaded for around 8 to 9 bucks a gal..
I can get the aviation 100 leaded for 5 bucks
a gal..

Thats a big drop in octane to go from 110 to 100,
will your engine like it

Its 11.75comp. Just for cruisin around
I think it would be ok..

I would have to say you were/are over octaned before.
I use to use 114 in my car and dropped to a lower
octane and went quicker(faster burn rate)

As a pilot and ex airplane owner I haven't heard of 100 avaition, just 100 LL avaition fuel I use to use the 115-145 octane when it was around back in the 1970 and then they drop that due to the large high performance multi engine aircraft being phase out of service here in our country. They (the oil companys)switch to 115-130 for several years and dropped that when they switch to 100LL. I did see valve seat damage when using the 130-145, I haven't really used the 100LL straight for any period of time in a race car so as far as damage 100LL does have, as already said, additives to increase its shelf life. The other thing is the specific gravity (weight per gallon can be compared with non avaition gasoline) is a lot less than most race gas Race gas is designed to be used in all out racing, aviation gas is designed to be ran at a consanst RPM, usually less than 2700 RPM, and design to be ran at the lean condition( 25 to 75 F degrees rich or lean of peak EGTs) to be rated at 100 octane. If you run it richer it won't have the same power as it does when it is ran lean the last thing is most airplane don't travel close to the ground so the fuel is designed to be ran at higher altitudes, 5000 ft MSL or above is normal
