REFLECTOR: bad mix?

[Dave Dent]

I used a O2 sensor on the high altitude engines we developed for NASA and they could handle the lead in the gas we used.  They are made by Bosh and they are used for off road vehicles.  You can order them for about $300 each and they should out live your use of the engine. They never gave us any problem.  They use a heater to bake off the lead.  If need be I can see if I can come up the a  part number for those that think they may want one.  Let me know. Of course the ones used by the RV rotary people may be the same and may even cost less. So if you have to replace them every 300 hrs and they cost a great deal less I would go with them.

  Ed Anderson of the RV Rotary fame, says that the O2 sensors will actually work for several hundred hours before upchucking.  He uses them to monitor his rotary's fuel mixture.

    It would actually take a bit of time to fry a catalytic converter using 100LL. What it WILL render inop very quickly is your Oxgen sensor. Only those using good ole fasion autos (pre 02 and converter) can burn 100LL. Then, it will run Really well.

    I would like to drain my tanks for a couple reasons and don't want to buy several more gas containers. It would delay me a week to get cans from my friends. Is dumping 100LL into my automobile a bad idea? This time of year the 92 octane here has up to 10% ethanol.
