there is one issue no one's mentioned yet; the flexible fuel pipes.
Every time the Purolators are checked the fuel lines are disturbed and
crushed. This physical abuse plus the agressive effects of some unknown
constituent in Mogas may well cause bits of elastomer to drop off the
inside of the fuel lines. I've seen it happen.
I also saw someone's fuel line suddenly start leaking seriously on the
way back from Ivalo, couple hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle.
What do they put in the fuel up there Jos?
