<p>Nick,</p>

<p>Your topic was deleted twice in this (UL Power) forum because Zenith.aero does not allow "double posting:" posting identical topics in two or more forums. <a href="http://www.zenith.aero/group/ch601/forum/topics/fuel-unporting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You posted the identical topic in the 601/650 forum</a>. I <em>immediately</em> sent you a message (check your Inbox!) explaining why, but to reiterate: At first glance, posting the same topic in two or more forums seems like a good idea - more responses likely, correct? That's true, but what then usually happens is that 2 or more <em>different</em> discussions develop and may contain different information. Anyone following then has to check multiple forums to be sure they didn't miss any valuable information (or corrections!). Some may not even be aware the same topic is being discussed elsewhere or may not be subscribed to all forums. Remember - the discussions are for the benefit of <em>all</em> the members, not just the one posting the topic!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Further, other members tend to "copy cat" what they see - so if others start posting the identical topic in two or more forums, it will quickly lead to clutter, needless duplication, and chaos! In summary, place a topic in the forum that is either the most relevant or will have the widest exposure, but place it in one forum only.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Please continue with your topic in the 601/650 forum - I left it posted there rather than here because <a href="http://www.zenith.aero/group/ch601/forum/topics/fuel-unporting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fuel unporting</a> would be more relevant to fuel plumbing and tank design rather than the engine, so <a href="http://www.zenith.aero/group/ch601/forum/topics/fuel-unporting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the 601/650 forum</a> seemed the best placement. Thanks for your cooperation and participating in the Forums!</p>

<p>Thanks for the info. Around here, northwest Wisconsin, 100 LL is universally available.</p>

<p>You mentioned lead deposits on your spark plugs and that you are now using Mogas.</p>

<p>There is a product called Swift 94 --which is unleaded 94 octane--that is available from Price County Regional airport-KPBH- Phillips, WI, about 48 miles from my home base at Saywer County Regional, KHYR. So, we are looking at 1hr. 30 min. round trip, so, maybe 9-10…</p>

<p>Which UL Power engine do you have? I have installed a 350is and fear that available Mogas is too low in octane.</p>

<p>Bruno, without knowing what exactly you are looking for, I can only generalize. My engine is from 2012, has about 140 hours of run time, and 115 hours actual flying. It starts promptly, cold or warm. The other day it was in the 40-ties and I saw 900+ fpm climb at 80 to 85 mph with 3/4 fuel and pilot only. My airport is at 3250'. With the 2-blade Whirlwind prop I see only a bit over 2600 RPM at full power, but performance is very good, much better than, say in a C 172 with 2 on board. …</p>

With the 2-blade Whirlwind prop I see only a bit over 2600 RPM at full power, but performance is very good, much better than, say in a C 172 with 2 on board. I see around 115 mph IAS at 2450 RPM and 6000'. With the Dynon panel, the numbers bounce around a lot and it's hard to zero in. At that pace, fuel consumption seems about 6 gph. The engine is not as economically as the Rotax variety, but the plugs show good burn, no soot, but lead deposit with LL100. Presently, I am flying auto gas, but have not had the plugs out. Coming up on annual next month, I will replace them with new, as they showed noticeable erosion of the electrodes.</p>
<p>On the 14.5 hour flight from Canada (11//16), the only long trip I have taken so far, it used 1/2 liter oil, which I was advised was normal. Otherwise, the engine has started and run like clockwork so far. Boroscope last annual showed clean cylinders. I will soon check valve clearances, which the previous owner had just done, and I did not repeat. Summary: So far, very good!</p>
