Video: Airplains’ Inpulse Anti Detonation Injection

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • Many high-compression aircraft engines are not approved to burn lower-octane mogas.
  • The Airplains ADI system provides a solution by injecting a water/methanol mixture into the induction system.
  • This system enables high-horsepower engines, like the Continental IO-520, to use lower-octane auto gas.
  • A video tour of the Airplains ADI system is included.

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.
