  • SWIFT gasonline?

    the local pilot group has returned from Oshkosh and is mentioning a presentation on SWIFT fuel.
    I don't see any discussion in the forum on this alternative.
    It appears it is fine for the A-65 - Mike

    Re: SWIFT gasonline?

    I, too, spoke with the Swift Fuel folks at OSH, purchased the Petersen STC for N44305 shortly after returning home, and am now on the 3rd or 4th tank. It has been available locally since early summer at 7I2 (home) and AID - we (me and my 2 co-owners) had already started using it in our O-320 powered RV6 and are very impressed with its performance. The difference between 100LL and SF is not so apparent with the Tcraft, but it doesn't have the luxury of electronic ignition and digital instrumentation to run LOP.
    However, combined with the new Tempest spark plugs, it usually starts on the first throw and runs at least as smooth as on 100LL. SF also costs less, but doesn't seem to float the cork as well!
