INCREASED utility of personal planes which can operate on readily available motor fuel warrants redesign of their engines to use premium or house-brand grades of motor gasoline, Mr. Kerley believes.He presents data to show that light aircraft engines can be modified to operate on fuels having a lead concentration equal to that of Grade-80 all-purpose fuel. Other problems connected with the use of motor fuels-high vapor pressure and volatility-are not insurmountable, he says.Cost is no longer a fair argument in favor of motor fuel, he claims, for the price differential between unleaded aviation fuel and motor fuel is too slight.INCREASED utility of personal planes which can operate on readily available motor fuel warrants redesign of their engines to use premium or house-brand grades of motor gasoline, Mr. Kerley believes.He presents data to show that light aircraft engines can be modified to operate on fuels having a lead concentration equal to that of Grade-80 all-purpose fuel.
