The FAA found Swift Fuel to have a motor octane number of 104.4, 96.3% of the energy per unit of mass, and 113% of the energy per unit of volume as 100LL, and to meet most of the ASTM D910 standard for leaded aviation fuel. Following tests in two Lycoming engines, the FAA concluded it performs better than 100LL in detonation testing and will ...
Racing fuels, avgas, ... 100LL, has an aviation lean ... but the prices are regulated by the authorities and have a fixed price at BDT 86.00 (US$1.04) and BDT 89.00 ...
ULPower produces a range of direct drive air-cooled horizontally-opposed engines with multiport fuel-injection and FADEC.All engines can run on avgas (100LL or UL91). All engines can run on automotive gasoline with up to 15% ethanol and with octane ratings as specified.
Avgas (aviation gasoline), or aviation spirit, is used by small aircraft, light helicopters and vintage piston-engined aircraft.Its formulation is distinct from the conventional gasoline (UK: petrol) used in motor vehicles, which is commonly called mogas or autogas in aviation context. [4]
In 2008, Teledyne Continental's new president, Rhett Ross, announced that the company is very concerned about future availability of 100LL avgas, and as a result will develop a Diesel engine in the 300 hp (220 kW) range for certification in 2009 or 2010.
The current national gas price average is $3.62 per gallon. The average cost of gas has decreased 15% in the last two years, from when it was $4.27 per gallon.
The current formulation of 100LL (low lead, blue) aviation gasoline contains 2.12 grams per US gallon (0.56 g/L) of TEL, half the amount of the previous 100/130 (green) octane avgas (at 4.24 grams per gallon), [85] and twice as much as the 1 gram per gallon permitted in regular automotive leaded gasoline prior to 1988 and substantially greater ...
200 hp (149 kW) at 2700 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 100 or 100LL avgas, compression ratio 8.70:1. Same as the A1A but with impulse coupling magnetos. [4] IO-360-A1B6 200 hp (149 kW) at 2700 rpm, Minimum fuel grade 100 or 100LL avgas, compression ratio 8.70:1. Same as the A1B but with a crankshaft that has one 6.3 order and one 8th order counterweights.
