All the bad press about G100UL are put out by the same people who don’t like lean of peak operation. They can’t understand it and anything new is bad. I have run a couple tanks full so far and no issues. I just wipe off any gas that spills from my wing. No fuel leaks, no bad smell, runs as good or better on my Bravo and I don’t foul my plugs or valves with lead. When the last of the TEL is made in England, I guess all the complainers will let their planes sit rather than use unleaded fuel. R100 won’t work for 30% of the fleet. Other than the one guy putting out the videos from San Jose that complains how bad it is for paint and how planes leaking fuel have issues. Fix the damn tanks and shut up.

I have an Electroair EIS and fine wires on them but massives on the top mag fired. I have GAMIs. I have run loo no problems at 30 or 32 inches and 2200 rpm. I run about 12.8-13.2 gps at 150-155 ktas. CHT’s run 330-350 and TIT about 1610-1630. I make a big pull at cruise with cowl flaps closed from 18 my rop cruise flow to 13 gph and adjust to TIT under 1640

I just had the system installed using fine wire plugs on the bottom for the EIS. It starts right up and runs smooth. The TIT is lower and CHT’s are slightly higher as expected. No drop in rpm when you turn off the mag. No problems starting when hot. It was not a hard install as I had already installed the Electroair starter switch. You do need to flip the rocker switch when you add the EIS though if you ran a mag there before.

Gregg in Troutdale doesn’t do tank sealing will only fix isolated leaks.

I have the same issue in my Glasair 2 it has a G3x and the GFC 500. I have not found an answer for this either

I run my Bravo at 2200 RPM it is much better on the engine lowers frictional loss and gives more time for gasses to move in and out of cylinder. The prop is also more efficient at the lower RPM. LOP ops work just fine here and allows a higher MP for a given HP rating. Mike Busch also recommends low RPM.
