Aviation Gas

I read on another forum that it is ok to run Aviation gas, few other guys said it was bad. I would like to start using it if you can, I live right near a local airport. Anyone know if it is safe or not to use in dirtbikes?

I think you can only fill your tank with like 20% of it or something along that line.

I think thats what my friends dad was saying. He said that the fuel has ether [e-thir] (or however you spell it) in it and he added it mixed 80% gas 20% avaition fuel. I think thats how he said it. Someone else has to know more on here.

It's high octane stuff(110+). Unless you are using a high compression dome it would actually rob power on a stock compression motor. For peak performance you want to use the lowest octane possible that doesn't get you detonation. Lower the octane rating the easier is to ignite. -Mark

My bike has a minimum of 95 octane and I can't find anything over 93 so I figured if I could mix in like 25-30% AV gas it would be a little better. I don't need to run it as I have been running 93 forever I was just curious.

LMFAO....fuel questions again...avaiation gas is designed to run at a constant rate of about 3000 rpm's...it also has a lower lead content...aviation fuel is not designed for atv's...you can buy aviation fuel a fraction of the cost of 93 octane most of the time...

Is the motor stock?? If it is,93 octane is just fine.Any higher octane will not yield any significant power increase.
