Is Leaded Fuel better than Unleaded? Let's find out! 

Thank you very much for the positive comment!

It's in another league!

Hell yeah it is!!

Awesome work, do a gear oil competition

I agree, the other RU-vidrs places in video ads, music to extend the video, goof off, merchandise, and clickbait their videos.

Gas works great at removing grease from your hands. It is a good cleaner. Just wash the gas off of you when you are done.

Jet fuel is actually kerosene and it heals most cuts and scapes. 👍

The another action to minimize lead fouling in aircraft engines is to lean severely on the ground at idle/low RPM's.

I've heard that there's a company trying to develop a av-gas to replace 100LL with an unleaded grade or something like that. Not sure if it's true or just a bunch of bull though.

80 octane was just motor fuel. It was stil available at our airport up until 20 years ago or so. It dissapeared because of lack of demand. There are dumbasses out there who certify their planes to run on motor fuel. As bad as pump gas is, you'd have to be insane. An older gentleman near me who had his own airstrip died awhile back, and his widow waited several years to auction off his toys. The only thing that was returned to running order easily was his plane, because of the 100ll. Everything else had to have the tank and carburetors tornmoff and cleaned. They still make 115/145 mostly for warbirds, but you have to buy entire lots of production at a time.

Funny thing was I was buying 100LL for my goped today at the airport and they had a student come back from taxiing that failed a mag check, you could hear it run like shit, the mechanics were trying to burn it off as I left with my can.

I bet he has like a 100 pack of head gaskets for that thing.

Lots of mechanics will wipe grease off their hands using a rag with some gasoline on it, because they have lots of gasoline handy. So yes, there is a legitimate reason to remind mechanics not to do that with leaded gasoline.

really? I've had 3 rx7s and 2 rx8s and all the engines ran great when I bought them and when I sold them. Most of the issues with rotaries is due to poor preventative maintenance, basic maintenance/upkeep, and lack of knowledge of how to care for them. I've also seen them abused and hold up. People doing stupid things blow them up, and probably blow up honda engines as well. No engine withstands abuse and neglect.

@Meme Man that is a myth. abuse and neglect kills engines. I've seen plenty of dead Hondas on the side of the road. I've seen them smoking. I watch SMA and plenty end up in the shop with lost compression on a cylinder. The issue is, there are hundreds of millions of piston engines on the road and its normal to accept some die. There are a handful of rotaries on the road and when they die from similar neglect and abuse, a big deal is made out of them. Add to it they are in sports cars in the U.S. and you get people that buy them to be hard on them. Pretty much any car make and model has a forum with people asking questions about their engine problems. If piston engines were immortal, there would be a lot less shops out there fixing and rebuilding engines. What you don't see much of is success stories. The guy with 200k on a rotary isn't in videos. Take Rob Dahm, he abused his 3 rotor and it held up for many years until he did something stupid on the dyno; because he kept it lubricated properly. If you keep up: lubrication, cooling, fuel, ignition, exhaust ... and rev the shit out of it on a semi-regular basis (not over-rev), you will have a happy, long life rotary. It is high maintenance. You can find plenty of examples of piston issues if you are willing to look, be open to it. Top Gear joking about Porsche catching on fire when hamster bought one. Ferraris catching on fire. Etc the list goes on forever, if you get out of the echo chambers and shit fests. have a good day, stay safe out there.

@@kuromurasakizero9515 he probably meant the actual inner workings, showing how it functions .. ive saw several pistons animations etc for regular engines but never a rotary engine

I used to work at a small airport, and one of the oldest most experienced mechanic would wash everything, including his hands, with avgas

@@Taydrum still to this day many folks that ive worked with use gas leaded or not to wash everything including their hands, cant say im not guilty of doing the same

@@joshabrey6693 I've done it before, but It's not good, I know plenty of old timey A&Ps that have permanent nerve damage from Methyl ethyl ketone, and i can only imagine what leaded gas is doing

Great point! Thank you

I think I remember going to a gas station as a kid and seeing little bottles of "injector cleaning", "diesel fumes reducer" aaaaaand "lead substitute" liquids so probably not actual lead but something that mimics it (though probably for some time actual lead containing fluid was sold)

Glad someone mentioned it.... Aviation fuel also has Antifreeze in it due to freezing temps at altitude. That is the build up ...they make spark plugs cleaning tools for aviation.

@@chelarestelar there were actual lead additives. I was in my 20s when they started getting rid of it. I hunted leaded fuel then aftermarket additives for years before giving in and modifying the heads.

@@jerrystott7780 actual lead additives? Well, didn't have confirmation of their existence, but now I know

Ethanol based fuel gets worst mpg than nonethanol fuel.

@@UAa320 True but with ethanol based fuel you get more horsepower and torque.

@@JQB45 I little bit more, but with ethanol there is the issue of it absorbing water.

@@UAa320 The water absorption issue is extremely minor, youll likely offgas your alcohols, leaving your oil/sludge behind. This is typically the issue. (I say alcohols because gasoline contains and has always possessed a collection of alcohols)

Yes, and $0.23 per gallon for premium.

How is it not practical? Some states Avgas is the only way you can get E0 fuel unless you buy race gas for $15 a gallon (specifically California.) For the last year I've been running 100LL in everything from lawnmower, generator, quad, weedwacker to dirtbike. But after watching this I think I will check the heads of the lower compression motors.

Thank you for the video idea!

This would cool for us off-roaders to see.

It won't work with a gas engine. It'll short out the electric system.

And run it on hairspray as fuel 🤔

@@alansheedy3956 maybe. Probably what would happen is the flywheel would be dragged down by the water pressing against the fins and stall. Or. It would find its way into the crank case and cause mechanical failure

People have done that's it's all lies buy the cheap shit

And are they that much better when compared to the standard.

@@chabka34 correct but the issues with buying the cheapest gas is it is usually from ghetto poorly maintained fuel stations, at least where I live. Lord knows is they've ever had their tanks cleaned

It won't boil in the tank of the chainsaws like pump gas will though. And i left 2 motorcycles sit after an injury, for several years. The one with 100ll started on the 3rd kick, the one with pump gas required the tank to be hot tanked, a new petcock, and extensive cleaning and replacement of all brass parts in the carb.

@@ProjectFarm what about putting lead in diesel engine. Would have to be a generator etc as cars have to many sensors the lead would make contact in the sensors and reak havoc. It may help to stop if from wearing out etc.

@@mattlawton4715 it's not the sensors that are the problem, lead will stop up catalytic converters. I can't think of any sensor that even actually comes into contact with fuel. O2 sensors will obviously be exposed to exhaust. But that's about it. Maybe something in the egr, I haven't messed with anything really new, because they're just getting too finicky. 2010 is pretty much my cutoff. But these are about the worst engines to test leaded fuel anyway.

This country was built by folks using leaded gasoline.it wasn’t until Jimmy Carter’s grandchildren started eating lead paint chips that it became an issue

lol. Thank you

kragseven lol. The country is still being built by slavery labor. I’m sure the Irish and Chinese appreciate your concern. Where exactly do you think lead comes from? The lead fairy? You worry about lead in gasoline but think nothing of setting in a traffic jam behind hundreds of cars all the while running the AC, not to mention using a computing device which I’m sure uses tin and lead. I suggest you not use anything with lead or petroleum product. It’ll save the planet, and save us from you activism. Slavery, you just had to go there. I hate to say it on this page because this git is such a good guy but I will; you must be a liberal. I said built referring to gasoline and fuels and you go back to the pre gasoline era. I’ll bet you can’t stand steam engines. 🙄

@kragseven Wow really! Does everything have to be revolved around something 154 years ago? Give a man a compliment and you have to take it there! Bad things happened. Unless you did it yourself stop blaming and tarnishing everyone for something that ended 154 years ago. If you think lead was a bad idea use some logic to reason with the man.... Like this... We dont need leaded fuel as much anymore as we can control timing on the fly now. Still doesnt make up for using the compression ratios attainable with higher compression but direct injection make higher ratios possible. Other chemicals can also be used to make thw fuel less flammable similar to how tetraethyl lead did.. Boosting ocatane rating. Etc Etc.

@kragseven Get over your riotous self, I bet you still wear Nikes, and text on an Ipod.

Thanks!

no wonder murica has so many mass school shootings and violence. its all that lead from bullets from gun ranges, etc leaching and contaminating ground water

did you ever realize that your av gas was not making anymore power than the straight 94 octane ? not unless you boosted the compression on the family car drastically before race day.

@@deletethis5489 we could advance the ignition without detonation or just run down to the junkyard and pick up a set of high compression heads. The older 440 heads were only $30 and 350 Chevy heads were even cheaper. This was a once a year event ( and only 2 times for most of us ) so we would do what we could afford to get those few precious tenths of a seconds without spending a lot of money. Most guys were already running headers, nice exhaust, electronic or dual point ignition, cam and performance intake. The guys that had to run the family cars usually didnt make many if any changes.

@@lordjaashin Yeah has nothing to do with drugs, lets ignore that. Seeing as democrats love to experiment.

@@tenkillcombo -- that's an old wive's tale. Higher octane has a higher activation energy but once ignited, burns at the same rate, within a few microseconds. Read "The Internal Combustion Engine in Theory and Practice, Volume 2" by Charles Fayette Taylor. You only need to read the first four chapters. And higher octane allows for advanced dynamic timing (static or base timing is a function of the combustion chamber shape), which is partially why higher octane fuels give more MPG. Higher compression ratio can be used which gives more horsepower and further improves MPG.

Thank you!

It goes into the Cart of Death instead. For some reason, I light up when the CoD is wheeled out.

I don’t mind watching those channels where they’re like “I’ve never tuned a car, but will my car run on lighter fluid?” Then they take 15degrees if timing out and wonder why it won’t run

Thank you

I wouldn't expect any knock with 100 octane fuel! That is the whole purpose of high-octane, to PREVENT KNOCKING!

Thank you

No it won't blow up your O2 sensor oh, it's an aviation fuel , Aviation Motors have fuel injection and O2 sensors. The reason it's LL low LED is so it doesn't burn up the O2 sensor. And older engines that used leaded fuel because lead actually was a lubricant for the valve to the cast iron head since they didn't have steel seats back then. Good try though.

@@moonshinemenace6611 I built piston avaition engines for 11 years, my father 42 years. Never saw an O2 sensor on an aircraft engine. Fuel injection is purely mechanical. They don't even use electronic ignition.

@@MarkSmith-zt2zl yeah sorry about that my kid got ahold of my phone, he's 16. He has a decent idea, missed a couple steps here. He just assumed since it was fuel injected it was electronic, since cars use them. But as far as ll100 the LED is so minimal that it would take a very long time to kill an oxygen sensor in a car, we've used it before. The mechanics out there always told me when I was a kid that the hundred octane was needed 4 as they go up in altitude they lean the motor down with fuel, as they lean it out it tries to detonate. So the higher octane is supposed to help offset that. That's at least what I was told. Thank you

@@moonshinemenace6611 I read other comments that were less informed further down the line. Referring to cast iron heads... Got tired of correcting. 100LL is somewhere in the 3ppm lead. You could run it thru cats for extended periods of time without harm. The lead in fuel serves many purposes, protecting vavle seats and guides primarily. Pilots have manual control of mixture from full rich to fuel cut off and lean at altitude based on power setting, exhaust gas temp desired fuel consumption at cruise...etc. 100LL is widely misunderstood, as many more commens demonstrated.

Thank you so much 😀

Great test idea! Thank you

ethanol isnt really even good for the engines

I don't know anything about leaded fuel, but I know pretty much all of the smell is absorbed by the catalytic converter in cars today. And that cars without cats smell. So I'm wondering if the decrease in smell you mention has more to do with the catalytic converter than unleaded fuel.

Floortile83 yes I believe you’re right. We also have a lot of hillbillies who take the Cats off there trucks. Also kids with foreign cars who alter the exhaust and they stink too and I’m sure they’re running unleaded fuel.

@@scrumthebum2451 It's to benefit the turbo. Less restriction lets the turbo spool faster and run cooler. I replaced the catalytic converter in my BMW M2 with a smaller one last week. (less cat material) My car doesn't smell, but I'm told if you get rid of the cat completely the car will smell.

I appreciate that!

Thanks 👍

Thank you for the video idea!

To a motorcycle, yes

My Dad’s Morris Minor was fitted with a high compression head. After unleaded fuel was introduced in the U.K. it would predetonate quite a lot. Adding the octane additive seemed to fix the problem.

As do I! The good news is I never need tune ups, spark plugs etc on leaf blowers chain saws, generators (13 years later, they do get maint. though) and never have fuel that "goes bad" prior to the next seasonal use. I also run it in my Motorcycle and 63 VW beetle (as storage fuel). The lead build-up concerns me somewhat too now...

Thank you

They work...too well. ;)

K-seal definitely works. Dont know anyone who's had it fail. My old car, still in use, had some in 2013 as a desperate measure when rad sprung a big leak one hot summers day moving house with a deadline, never got round to changing the radiator, it must've done in the region of 50k miles since.

so far the work great fro selling water pumps, everyone ive known that used the stuff has replaced a water pump within 40k miles.

BarsLeaks seems to work. I've only used it in older engines though.

all my hi po mopars get a concoction 91 oct no ethanol and av 100 ll oct, they love it. 10-1 comp plus got to have it!!

that is because those engines have to have lead in the gasoline.

My 1978 Marquis ran terribly unless it had 5 gal of AV fuel per tank. Oh, forgot to say I replaced that crappy 400M with a 1970 429 T-bird engine. Because of laws they wouldn't put the fuel in the car's tank. I had them fill a 5 gal container instead. I tried every additive I could find but the 110 octane leaded was the only thing that worked.

basically . . . you ruined the engine. sounds like to me , you used moth balls to get that increase in '' umph '' and ruined it. lol and now it wqill only run on high '' UMPH '' . . . lol lol, no one [gas stations ] is allowed to fill the gas tank with AV fuel. if you have the money, you can get a 50 gallon barrel, and have it filled and you can take it home yourself.

They completely changed spark plug materials because of lead -- twice. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-smIqDKTm2hE.html but the lead causes brain damage in humans.

@@seananderson5850 what will happen if you put it back in modern engines? Will it be beneficial?

@@denniero6904 lead will destroy the catalytic converter, o2 sensors, spark plugs, probably fuel injectors too.

Only in older cars originally designed for leaded fuel. Modern engines have improved metallurgy which negate the need for lead anymore. The main reason why they removed lead from fuel was due to environmental and health dangers. Lead is bad for the environment as it is a heavy metal and was leaching into water supplies (mainly from boats). It also leads to brain damage.

Leaded fuel is good for high compression engines and high altitude there is no benefit running it in a stock engine.

@@jeradlouzy4438 the reality is now, its the only fuel they make across the board, for the little GA planes they really dont need the high octane, 87 would do the job on any cessna

Great point! Thank you

I try to explain to people that same thing and they say I'm nuts. Higher octane is a must for high compression engines but it can actually make less power if it's not needed or adjusted for it.

i used to drive my car right up onto the tarmac and put 100LL in it. but it had high compression, no cats and an easily adjusted carb and timing. if you tried that with cats on you wouldn't get to far but i'd like to try it on a newer self learning. system with the. wideband o2 sensor. (cats removed of course)

@@augustreil I once heard/read that high octane fuel actually contains less energy per volume so if you're not running high compression (where the benefit of higher self-ignition temperatures comes in) you will have to use more fuel to make the same power

@@chelarestelar, True, lower octane is more explosive in general and burns faster.
