Hey was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction about getting avgas in Revelstoke. From what I have found the airport as well as one other place in town sells avgas by credit card. A couple questions I have are, is there a card lock type of pump, or will I have to make it to one of these places before a certain time each day? As well as if someone happens to know the current price of avgas versus premium within December? And if someone happens to know more than these two places, by all means list them, more options the better.

Thanks

Powerhouse customs could prob steer you in right direction.
Might want to get some cans or a tank that way you only have to go every couple days for fuel - a lot less hassle

Airport is cheaper and super easy access, credit card pay at the pump ... forgot the code but the door is easy to open with a screwdriver, once you are in the code is on a sign on the fence. Airport workers seen me there all the time never had any issues

Grabbed some AV has today np just need Jerry cans have to walk in

100LL.ca will tell you where and how much anywhere you need to find it.

I actually did call and talk with the one guy, assuming he looks after the place, and he led me in the right direction. Sounds like he gets it quite often. Hopefully grab the code from him that way I don’t have to be a bother over the Christmas holidays.

I actually did look at 100LL and just didn’t know how accurate it was, but 1.60ish a litre according to the website isn’t bad at all, especially since premium is somewhere around 1.50 a litre

Are you guys running this stuff in turbo sleds or is it worth the difference in a naturally asp unit?
We built a slip tank for the enclosed and was wondering about buying some and mixing it off with premium if there'd be a noticeable difference

I am running it in a turbo 800 etec, this will be my first trip since installing the turbo. I had always ran plain old premium before, I can’t see there being any true gains to justify avgas in a non turbo setup. But that is just my 2 cents

A Stock motor will actually perform worse on avgas as opposed to premium. Unless you have higher compression save yourself the hassle.

Everyone likes LL100 until they take an engine apart and find all the dried lead dropout on everything lol

AV gas or 100LL is designed for slow burning piston engines in old planes. its popular because its a regulated fuel so its very consistent. the Lead is added as a lubricant and drops out like crazy in exhaust components like turbos and headers... its liquid in the combustion chamber but solidifies when cooled. we use 100LL lots in race boats and my LSX 454 drinks it 26 GPH. IMO race fuel is much better but pricey and harder to source.
