As general aviation transitions to a lead-free future, some GA pilots are wondering about 115/145 avgas.

Oil refineries add 0.5 grams of Tetraethyllead (TEL) per gallon to 80/87 fuel. But why?

A question that every pilot and general aviation aircraft owner should be asking is “What do I need to do to my aircraft before the transition to unleaded avgas and 100LL is gone forever?”

When there is a problem with the transition to unleaded avgas, maybe those affected will sue the EPA or the FAA. But more realistically they will sue everyone from the airplane manufacturers to the fuel distributor, letting the courts sort it out to determine the winners and losers.

What is the best way to preserve or "pickle" aircraft engines that are off the wing waiting for an airframe restoration or for a kit-built aircraft to be completed?

Today's search for an unleaded avgas is so different from similar searches in the past, which was a very large cooperative effort to find an answer — and they were looking for one fuel that could be produced by any oil company.

What we have here is someone making an instructional video that has very little learning and, in fact, is very dangerous to pilots who tend to believe anything they see on the Internet.

EAA AirVenture Oshkosh is a time to discover new products, as well as catch up with old friends.

Murphy's Law states that anything that can go wrong will go wrong. In the transition to unleaded fuel for general aviation, what could possibly go wrong?

What are the best recommendations for pre-heating an aircraft engine?
