I'm beginning a new project (Lyc 180 hp, RV-9) that I hope will carry me forward into the next 25 years of GA and my personal travel flying. A big concern is fuel - cost and availability. What is readily available right now is reformulated auto gas. Yes, I'm familiar with its vapor pressure, compression/timing issues, and corrosive characteristics. No, regular gasoline/mogas is not readily available within 100+ miles of home.
With that said, is anyone using RFG? Haven't seen much on VAF about usage of this material.
I do believe submersible (automotive type) pumps would be needed. Planning on 2 mains and 2 aux tanks, so potentially up to 4 submersible pumps. Full electronic likely on ignition and fuel delivery.
What about fuel tank sealant? Proseal and RFG are not a good combination. Anyone have direct usage experience with sealants that can tolerate RFG?
All needs to also run on 100ll, alcohol, and maybe carbon free unicorn's milk as well.
Thanks
