What is a disadvantage of MOGAS in relation to AVGAS?
  • A
    Higher risk of becoming wax like and clogging up fuel lines
  • B
    Can ignite without a spark and cause an explosion
  • C
    More expensive
  • D

    Higher risk of ice in carburettor

Testing has shown that because of its greater and seasonally variable volatility and higher water content, carburetor icing is more likely when MOGAS is used - the occurrence of the phenomenon of “vapor lock” is more likely. Especially after using the engine at the maximum operating temperature. Icing in the carburetor occurs much faster.
  • MOGAS absorbs much more heat during the process of mixing fuel with air and can therefore be subject to higher cooling during evaporation. The result of this is the accumulation of ice near the carburetor.
