I drive to this small airport not far from me, drive right onto the ramps and load up 3- 5 gal jugs of avgas. Works almost exactly any other gas station, Drop your card in, hit 15 gallons and you're done. I would never drive my car to the pump, just load the jugs. Compared to race gas, it can be half the price. The L78 loves it, and it never goes bad. I have the timing all in just before 3k so you need to be careful with octane

The self serve pump is usually by the edge of the tarmac and you can just walk up and use your credit card right at the machine. We have a couple local commuter airports within 10 miles of my house. They have the 100 octane "low lead' which the old cars seem to love. A lot of guys also use it for gas-powered landscaping tools since the ethanol mixed fuel is really bad on them.

As for price, it is usually only around a buck more a gallon than whatever 93 octane fuel is going for at the local gas station that day.

Can you mix with normal 91 unleaded that contains ethanol?

You can, but it's the ethanol you want to avoid. You don't have non-oxy gas where you are ? Stations around me discovered there is a BIG market for it and have added pumps over the past several years.

Yeah, but you're at sea level All those big block cars run better closer to the ocean...the salt air adds power

Stay warm tonite...wilma

Any of the RideNow Powersports stores should have 5 gallon cans of VP 110 racing fuel available in the parts departments (RideNow Chandler is off of Gilbert Rd and the 202 )

• 2677 E Willis Road Chandler, AZ 85286
• Phone: 844.866.2677

Shouldn't have to run straight 110 unless you are running a lot of timing. I'd try a 2:1 ratio to start. Maybe check if you can find VP, Sunoco in 5 gallon pails from a local speed shop.

,I have about 10 Gallons of 112 Sunoco left, run it straight...No mixing I have a 302 with a

cross ram and run the green accelerator pump gaskets instead of Blue...the Blue ones leak

from the Racing gas so I run Green.

Some airports won't sell gas to walk ins, some will. The smaller the airport the better. 100LL avgas works well in old cars but will eventually be phased out.

Say it ain't so!!!!

Marty,

Unless it has changed recently, the huge Love's Truck Stop at the SE corner of Wild Horse Pass Blvd & I-10 sells racing fuel at a pump, since it is adjacent to Wild Horse Pass Motorsports park. That has to be pretty close for you if you're in Chandler.
