Fuel for engine
 

Crazy question and I'm open for any comments but i can get hold of some AV-GAS A1 fuel (airplane fuel for those that didn't know) and was thinking of putting some in my tank...i know it has a very high octane content but would it melt the piston?

Isn't that stuff also kerosene/parafin?? If so, I would have thought that would be about the last thing I would put into a petrol engine!

Why would you want to do that?

Good luck!

AVGAS is leaded
 

Good luck with your venture. I went to buy avgas for my Nissan Turbo a few years back, it is leaded & will ruin your cats. Be careful...

Kev its just a idea as I've got access to 1000 litres..but not sure if i will need to see what the long term damage will be

Boneman don't have cats on my xtx mine is 2004

Avgas is for petrol piston engined aircraft, turbine engine (jet) fuel is kerosene based.

I used to run a 1959 Matchless G80CS scrambler on 110 octane Avgas after leaded fuel disappeared, purely because the motor was designed to run on leaded 105RON petrol which was available at the pumps in the UK in the 50s and 60s and Avgas was/is the nearest thing to it that's available now (and it's a lot cheaper than UL+additive too!).

Not sure why you'd want to do this on a modern bike engine with hardened valve seats and fuel injection designed to run on 95RON unleaded?
