I hate to even think of getting into this but here goes...    I would never

in a million years put mogas or auto gas or whaterver you choose to call it

into any machine I'm going to fly.  I guess we all know alcohol has an

affinity for water but the surprising thing I found in far North flying is

that kerosene does too.  Jet airliners have fuel heaters to prevent ice

crystals forming in the filters, lines or servos.  I had a right engine

flame out on final to Sondrestromfiord in a Paris II in November, 1974.

That was a strong lession about cold weather flying.  The MS 760 did not

require Prist additive but we sure started using the stuff after that.  I

flew the Bell 212 and DHC-6 in Alaska the winter of 1982-3  thanks to the

P&W Pt-6, which will burn perfume if you can afford it.

Luckily, most of my flying was commercial where only the best of everything

is mandated.  I have my skin to attest to the quality of the parts, fuel and

service we received.  The dollar saved on cheap fuel is at best a gamble and

at worst a foolish life threatening mistake.

I have spent my life in aviation of the certificated variety and hope to

transfer that knowledge to our Lancair IV-P.  It only makes sense.  Now, I

want you to vote for...

Walter Dodson
