I asked Ellison why they did not make their carb to hold up to Auto Fuel and they told me that it was because they could not know what was in the auto fuel and therefore could not test for it. In many states, there is a law that says that the fuel company does not have to tell you what is in the fuel. Here in SC, I have asked and the attendants at the gas station have no idea and it is not posted on the pumps. If they would just tell you what is in it, you could avoid these things. Too bad that the aviation industry has not caught up with the times and made a regulated fuel that can be used in modern engines. You Wrote: I would have to use gasohol here in Kansas. Would this be adverse in an Ellison? ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 18:06:34 -0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) From: "Dan Heath" Subject: Re: RE: KR> Avgas/Mogas & Ellison To: Message-ID: <430657EA.000001.02508@DANHOMECOMPUTER> Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Yea, I guess I should take this engine off and look for a core to start building up. Who makes the motor mounts? And I guess I will have to re-do the cowling and I sure hope that I still have room behind the engine for the stuff that I already have on the firewall, like the battery and fuel filter and pumps, or I will have to re-do all that, and I guess I will have to get a new intake and exhaust, and I know this Ellison won't work with the big HP Corvair, so I will have to get an EFS-3A. Wonder if I can get that done in time for the Gathering next year???? Oh, and I wonder if my ignition system will work or if I will have to replace all that also. Well, it is either that or haul Auto fuel to the airport and hope the Ellison does not break or use AvGas and hope the engine does not break. Maybe I can just get this engine re-worked to use AvGas or put on a Zenith Carbie. Oh, what to do, what to do. I think I will just have to think on it for a while.... See you in Mt.

This means that the float level in bowl carbies alters and thus affects mixtures. Hence the requirement in the STCs for floats to be adjusted and jets to recalibrated. In my Weber the float difference is about 3.5 mm thus making the adjustments as indicated in the Weber manual for Auto fuel incorrect for Avgas.
