Why not drain the fuel tank using the fuel pump and use the petrol in your normal day to day car. Open the filler cap but cover it with a cloth to prevent dirt, mice etc. getting in. The remnants eit

Why not just drain using the plug in the bottom of the tank? That way, you'd get some of the crud that might be in the bottom of the tank. bs -- ** Bob Spidell San Jose, CA bspidell@comcast.net ** __

Well, avgas doesn't have alcohol in it, if that's what you mean. But, I think you'd have problems running exclusively on avgas, as it still has lots of lead in it. It would likely foul your plugs and

G'day Tom Unfortunately modern fuels are extremely unstable and even after a month of so will break down in your tank. A couple of months back I wrote about a product called STA-BIL Fuel Stabiliser.

I'm just concerned about how you open the drain plug with 14.4 gallons of gas in there. It would certainly drain all the sludge out of the tank but it's not what I want to use to clean my garage floo

Since your engines were designed to run on leaded petrol there should be no problem at all running on aviation petrol. If you use the recommended oils there should be no problem either. It is correct

Not if you leave the filler cap off. It will ventilate naturally without condensation. You have to cover the filler opening loosely with an open weave cloth to prevent dirt and mice etc. getting in.
