AV gas for the generator
A Facebook friend just posted a spot hes getting AV gas at. Runs it in his generator. Any of you old school guys have advice on slight tuning changes? Lean out the altitude screw maybe? Different plug...

Years ago the blend of avgas at dispatch used a centrifugal spin filter special tank trucks for both 87 and 110 L/L. Both grades were the same fuel except the leaded 110 contained 10% more alkylate and 1.3 grams of tetra ethyl lead per gallon. Purple 110/145 octane was highly restricted because it contained 50% alkylate and 5.2 grams of TEL. It cost 20x more than 88 octane and did absolutely zero for a snowblower and my Sunbeam Tiger. But on the other hand 12.5 to 1 pistons. Giant valves and a full race cam worked magic on a propane 350 engine in a pickup truck. Butane cost .45 a gallon down here then.
