Rick,

I think that Richard is talking about AVGAS and not the JET A-1, JET A, or JET B 
fuels which are Kerosene. 


I was curious and did some research on it. Some people claim to have used it on 
2 cycle engines for years without problems, but It does contain lead.

I think maybe it is better to use a fuel stabilizer like sea-foam or sta-bil.

Richard,

Wow, I hope no one in California reads that!  Are you talking about aviation
fuel = kerosene?
