Hi All,

I need a sample of Avgas for work.  Only need a few mls, so if anyone has any sitting around I'd like to sample it.

I work in Port Melbourne and live in Werribee, so anywhere near or between these two would be great.

Cheers

Course it's for work.....Look out if Stu's car is a bit quicker down the straight at PI.

Brings back memories.  When I was racing bikes back in NZ, the petrol station outside the track had an Avgas pump.  Bloody handy that.

I don't think you'll have any trouble getting a small sample. You could see Mark Roffey at Tyson's at Moorabbin, he's a really nice guy. Point cook would be easiest for you, but it tends to be pretty beuracratic there. I don't know about Essendon but you could just call the fuel agent. Pretty much any flying school or aircraft owner would drain you off a litre. If you get stuck, I'll get you some from our aeroplane - but we keep it at Tyabb - so it wil take me a few days.

In case you're not across it - all AVGAS is now 100LL. Whereever you go will get the same stuff.

I was at Woomera last week for the V8 Supercars aero tests. I might post some pictures later in the week. I fuelled at Port Augusta on the way back where Avgas was $2.12 per litre. The aeroplane took 242 litres. You tend not to worry so much about car fuel prices after that.

Stuarts problem (among others) will be that defence no longer have any aircraft that use AVGAS. All the aircraft now use JET A-1.
