<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>BTW, I hate to fill it up, as the fumes more

wondering where the mixing of the fuels (Petrol and Ethanol) is done to allow
for all these different percentages by location. Curious also whether the
percentage varies by grade. Incidentally the manual states that the TR engines
were designed to run on 80 octane. I'm guessing that the grading system has
been changed since the</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma color=black size=2><SPAN

been running 93 octane in my nearly stock TR3 street motor, until I decide to
try a tank of 89. The engine seems to like the lower octane better, is running
less rich and consuming fuel at a slower rate.</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma

tell me the capacity (US gals) of an early TR3 fuel tank? The manual states
12.5 gals, but I am putting in 12 gals with what appears to
be something like 2 gals still remaining. Are they using
Imperial measurement? (understand that 1 US gal equals about 5/6 Imperial

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">I spent Tuesday
afternnon hanging about in my old friend's hangar. He was finishing an annual
on a Piper Colt that has the Autogas STC. He needed gasoline to test the
engine so he went to the nearby Sheetz and bought a can of 87 octane rating
and a can of 91.<BR> <BR>Neither pump was labeled as containing
ethanol.<BR> <BR>The STC allows the use of autogas only if it
contains NO alcohol, so he tested the gas for alcohol content using a test
kit. The kit came from Sporty's or Aircraft Spruce or equivalent.
<BR> <BR>The 87 contained 8% and the 91 contained 5%
alcohol.<BR> <BR>So I think this means that one can't always go by the
labeling on the pump.<BR> <BR>John H.</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma

Texas, soon as one get out of the metropolitan areas of Ft. Worth and Dallas,
say 15 miles south of Fort Worth to Motor Sports Ranch, there is NO Ethanol in
any of the pump gas. I know this because while doing HPDE's in my M3 I
looked for Shell 93 Oct. I noticed that the required "May contain up to
10% Ethanol" sticker required by law to be on every pump
containing Ethanol was absent along with any vapor recovery technology. The
station owner confirmed... No Ethanol</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Tahoma
