<VV> Pinging Question Take deux

[kaczmarek at charter.net]

Somehow my reply got zapped off what I sent.  Things that make you say hmmmmm. 

Anyway, I've not read the pinging thread as my system, although technically illegal, works very well. 

Drive the car till nearly empty.   Take your Non-Vair to the local private airport with your 5 gallon can, tell the attendant you have a dirt track racer and you want to buy 5 Gallons of 110 LL Aviation Gasoline.  Go home and put the gas in your vair, then drive to the gas station and fill the rest of the way with 93 Super Premium unleaded.  You will now have a tankful of approx 100 Octane VERY LOW LEAD Gas. 

Now just drive the car.  That little bit of Tetraethyl Lead will cure not only pinging but many other funky sounds in your powerplant. 

I once had a friend fill my vair from the tanks on his airplane. 140 PG LM.  Car tore ass up the interstate with almost no foot in the pedal.  SO THAT'S how it's supposed to run, I thought to myself.     

I do the LL gas thing every 6 months. Your mileage may vary, especially if you feel you are harming the environment, as this practice is illegal under federal (EPA) regulations.  It's OK for a dirt track racer, so tell the attendant that's what you want it for. 

As for harming the environment, go take a look at the smog in China, where everyone's wearing dust masks all day when outside as they have no EPA and could give a crap less, then go outside and hug a tree, and you and your Vair will be feeling better shortly.  

Remember the high octane ethyl that Gulf sold?     NO-KNOX-----for a reason!!!
