John,
Do you find any debris or crud when you rinse out the oil tank? If so is there more when you burn 100LL? Thanks,

I pull my tank to change oil. This also gives me a chance to rinse the tank
out with gasoline, take it apart, and inspect the innards.

Scott:
Yes, when running a steady diet of 100LL there will be a good bit of led in
the bottom of the tank. One of the primary reasons I flush it with
gasoline. I take it apart about every other oil change and wipe it down
after flushing with gas. During the flying season, especially during long
XC flights out West, those oil changes come around quickly. I don't
remember what the book dictates for intervals, used to be 100 hours for auto
fuel and 50 for 100LL, but I change mine about every 25 to 50 hours
depending on where I am and how convenient it will be to do the oil change.
I've been running some semi-synthetic Shell Rotella T, 5W40. Couldn't find
any, so mixed up a batch of dino and syn 50/50. The next oil change and the
rest of next year I am going to run straight Rotella full syn to see if it
is suspending lead as good as the semi-syn oil. That is the primary reason
for running dino oil when operating on a steady diet of 100LL. However, if
one goes to the spec sheet on Rotella full syn, it is based on fine dino
oil, if I read the spec sheet correctly. I should be able to tell after the
flight to MV and Oregon next May. I'll end up with about 75 engine hours on
steady 100LL with a couple cans of auto fuel thrown in occassionally.
