I am not close to flying but want to know if a IO-360 can use auto fuel? 8:7 is not that much more than 8:5 does it make that much deference? just wondering, see a lot of discussion on 320s and 8:5 compression 360.
Is there anyone out there that is actually running ethonal based auto gas in an IO-360 with the Bendix Experimental fuel body? I know that Fast Eddie is using ethonal based gas in his O-360 (carbureted) with no issues. I'm about ready to start testing with a 50/50 mixture of ethonal based auto gas and 100LL in my RV-7A, but can't get any specific data on the tolerence level of the Bedix Experimental fuel body to ethonal.
So is there anyone who has already done this? If so, what octane gas are you running?
Maybe it's just me but I tend to find more issues when I am forced to buy 100LL on a trip.

I was wondering if PRC/Proseal could be intolerate to mogas...any ideas??
Do you mind elaborating on what issues you find with 100LL?
Other than maybe having your mags timed better for the Mogas I can't think of any issues there could be.
I definately prefer to run airport mogas, or auto fuel in my C-140 but those are different reasons than an RV engine would have.
Thanks

Why is it mandated to put ethanol in mogas? What purpose does it serve?
