- Does a @zenithac CH750 Cruzer use jet fuel? Not quite, but I do get asked regularly. My method for finding, transporting, and testing ethanol-free auto fuel for aviation use.
0:00 Jet Fuel, AvGas, MoGas
0:33 Why MoGas?
1:00 Finding Ethanol Free
1:43 At the pump
2:29 Testing for Ethanol
2:50 Is Ethanol bad?
5:12 Octane booster
5:34 Fueling the plane

Very useful, thanks for sharing your experience!

The replacement for 100LL can't get here fast enough.
Great info! Thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
What do you do if you need to fill up at a remote airport? Do you search around for ethanol-free or use 100LL with a lead scavenger?
I use 100LL and lead scavenger (decalin)
How much octane booster do you add?
2.6oz/10 gallons, direct from their dosage chart for 2 octane numbers
Removing the ethanol from 10% ethanol gas, lowers the octane rating by 2 points.
Good to know!
