Re: Phase out of leaded fuel by September 2019.

Yep Totally agree. Event Gas is the way forward. Has worked at Bonneville for a long time. As long as the gases chosen can cover more standard low comp vehicles and the high compression/ boosted motors, it has to be a good thing.

Re: Phase out of leaded fuel by September 2019.

Re: Phase out of leaded fuel by September 2019.

Hey Greg
Can you tell us the maximum allowable oxygen content in an Unleaded fuel for it to be legal with the DLRA please.
That will help a lot in deciding what we can use.

Hey Greg
Have been running Avgas in the Vincent for about 12 years. As with Chris and many others, I'm also very interested in the a alternatives for replacing Leaded . Alternative politicians may be a better solution.
Cheers Mal
