Re: AV Gasoline in the "Old Days"

I don't know where he is getting his av gas but when I took flying lessons in a single engine piper; it had a carb and if it dried up seals and gaskets, I don't think any one would have been using it.
I used it when I drag raced in the 60's and so did a lot of other guys with no problems.
