New I'll stop at Anderson whenever I get the chance.
Of course, I'll have to check with the FAA that UL94 is approved for Continental O-300 engines. I'm dubious and unwilling to take a chance. Unleaded AvGas has been "being worked on" for quite some time. However, and this point cannot be overstated, the auto industry could move faster because they never had to contend with the FAA. The FAA is lapped by glaciers routinely.

New Looks like you're good to go, but I may be missing something.

http://flyunleaded.com/Aviation_Fuel_Update_6_2012.pdf (45 page .PDF). See slide 30 especially. The EAA link on slide 30 is a 404 though. It should be:

http://www.eaa.org/en/eaa/aviation-communities-and-interests/pilot-resources/auto-fuel-stc/approved-engine-models

Looks like you might need to spend < $300 for a Supplementary Type Certificate (STC).

HTH a bit.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Scott.

New Thanks, I'll look.
But unless they've issued a new one, I already have the Unleaded Fuel STC. A few years back, the FAA issued a statement that none of those were good because none of those were issued when ethanol was in the fuel. With this fuel, though, I might be good to go. Worth looking into anyway. Thanks again.

                                     Good points. Thanks. -NT - (Another Scott) - Aug. 29, 2016, 02:17:11 PM EDT
                     You can fly. It's not the flying that's the problem. -NT - (pwhysall) - (26) - Aug. 29, 2016, 11:35:01 AM EDT
                         This. Fix your goddamned plane then you can fly. It's pretty simple. -NT - (malraux) - (25) - Aug. 29, 2016, 12:16:56 PM EDT

                                                         You don't need to fly a hobby plane for the helicopters to fly. -NT - (malraux) - (5) - Aug. 30, 2016, 09:32:26 AM EDT
                                                             They are GA aircraft and a lot of them burn the same fuel. - (mmoffitt) - (4) - Aug. 30, 2016, 11:17:49 AM EDT
