Key Takeaways:

  • Many high-compression aircraft engines are not approved to run on lower-octane auto gas (mogas).
  • The Airplains ADI system provides a solution for these engines.
  • It works by injecting a water/methanol mixture into the induction system, allowing them to burn lower-octane auto fuel.

Although a lot of aircraft engines are approved to burn mogas, that doesn’t include many high-compression, high-horspower engines like the Continental IO-520. That’s where the Airplains ADI system comes in. It injects a water/methanol mixture into the induction system to allow the burning of lower-octane auto gas. Here’s a video tour of the system.
