The use of MOGAS, compared to AVGAS, would lead to a higher risk of…

  • A
    ice forming in the carburettor.
  • B
    fumes in the cockpit.
  • C
    sparking, leading to engine fire.
  • D
    excess manifold pressure.
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.
