Re: 10% Ethanol & Percolating Fuel???
Bill,
I can understand your frustration. Perhaps JD will chime in some more to correct my opinion if need be. It is my understanding, unleaded fuel lacks some lubrication qualities for the high pressure pump in your F.I. unit. That in addition to the difference in boiling point, makes race fuel a better choice. If you were to look in the archives, you will see aviation fuel is even more sought after!
It is unfortunate that this problem will only get worse with time. For my own use, I have started to purchase 55 gallon drums of leaded race fuel from the local lubricant and fuel distributor. While expensive,
it yields the results.
Best Regards,
Tim
