Leave only 20 gallons or so in the tank but add octane booster to get it up
to about 200 octane. If it gets stolen and used it will damage the engine in goes into. In the spring just fill the tank up and the octane level will go down. Have a "dummy" fill cap going to a tank of gasoline mixed with styrofoam. Let them try to run on that. |

Higher octane rating means that the gasoline is *less* explosive, not more explosive. Have a "dummy" fill cap going to a tank of gasoline mixed with styrofoam. Let them try to run on that. Now that would work. |

In the spring just fill the tank up and the octane level will go down. Octane booster is only good for five points, or so. Triptane has a rating of 170 when blended with tetraethyl lead. That is as high as it gets. Propane is 100, methanol and ethanol about 110 as is toluene. Acetone is over 100. So called low lead 100 avgas is 115 and is the highest you can buy from a pump. The closest small town gas station has racing gas during the season, but I don't know how it rates. There will be a quiz. Casady |
