Default Aviation gas?

Big -Boss Everything looks good for how you are going to break in your motor. The only side note is Aviation gas? I hope you are mixing this with auto gas. If you have a racetrack around you, the 100 or 110 unleaded would be better. There are some issues with running this straight AVI gas. I would have to call a couple of friends but if you have any rubber hoses, I think it eats the inners out and breaks down some seals that are not designed for this. It's like running alcohol in a carb not designed for it. The same problem GM had with the flex fuel motors and the E-85 gas. It was eating the seals on the intake manifolds and had to be replaced. If the seals where not green, they looked like acid ate them up. Stay with hi test 93 and add booster or go to the race track for the 100. You can add a gallon or 2 on a full tank but would n't add any more. There are also lubricate differents between airplane motors and auto motors. Rick L.
