Default Running AVGAS?
Hey guys, I don't have no cats on my truck. Can I run 100LL AVGAS since I can buy it bulk at the same price as 87 at the pumps?


Reason I am asking is I already purchase it for everything carbed on the farm, do you think I can get away with it on my FI'ed truck?

Not if you still have O2 sensors on the truck. The lead will foul them.

as long as your truck runs at maximum rpm like around 2000 rpm and at 6000 feet elevation
