What Chemistry is the LP Aero? Does it have to be trimmed at the edges?
Thanks again. |

I am wondering what kind of luck people are having with the Model IV pre-formed windshield. Specifically scratch resistance, crazing and cracking.
Thanks |

I have a model 4 582 mount FS. It is new. If you can use it make me a reasonable offer. It is not doing me any good here.

My sump tool actually has marks on it to test for ETOH and is how I planned on testing the MOGAS. Thanks for the reminder though. |

I realy doubt that MOGAS is ethanol free. I will find out in the next few days. Are new kitfox kits with poly tanks or still fiberglass? Does someone make poly tanks to replace mine? Thanks again.. |

I had not thought about MOGAS. If it has no MTBE or Ethanol I can use it. I guess the real question it how long it will be available. |

There was very little on the inlet side of the carbs, realy almost none. On the side after the slide it was thick enough to scrape with my fingernail.
Good point about the 100LL. It is just like me ... |

I guess if I run 100LL that this might solve the problem. No ethanol or MTBE correct?? |

The plane has not sat and the fuel is not old. Some one has suggested that the MTBE is melting the tank. Is there a coating I can put in it? |

What ever relay you use you need to make sure it is intended for continual use. Most automotive starter relays are not intended for more than a few minutes use at a time. |
