Question re Russian avgas
« Reply #15 on: October 28, 2005, 02:57:53 AM »
"4B-78(95) is a mixture of base gas with octane 78 and 4 cubic cms of tetraethyl lead (called R-9) per liter of base gas with effective octane # 95."

But does it mix with scotch?

Thx for the info.

Well, not scotch but ethanol :) And not only the Finns, also the Swedes used alcohol with avgas and IIRC also the Germans; before the C3, they used C2 which had some alcohol addition.
