What model Bonanza do you have that you could run on mogas?

All Bonanzas since the S35 in 1964 have had at least the Continental IO-520 engine, which, being a high-compression engine, requires 100LL. My 1980 F33A definitely requires 100LL and simply could not operate on mogas.

If Swiftfuel meets the octane requirement for high-compression engines, then this could be an exciting development.

I had an F 35 which had a E 225-11 engine. It and an after market Bendix fuel injection system, and was STC’s for mo gas.

My current plane a Cessna 310 has IO 470’s and they need the 100, I hope this new fuel is real.
