Avgas
« on: 31 January 2012, 19:28 »
I recently changed boat engines which has left me with 40ltrs of avgas sat in the garage, if I mixed this with standard unleaded would it be alright to run in my car? If so what ratio avgas/unleaded would people suggest?
Just seems a shame to have it sat around in the garage if I can put it to use.
Cheers

That's AVTUR (aviation turbine fuel), AVGAS will be fine with a 50:50 mix.
