What is the official fuel-grade requirement for the M14P? Is is 80/87,  

93/96, or 100?



Is it any different for the M14PF? I would think it would be as the  

boost is higher.

For the M14P it is 91octane [aviation method] ,which the Russians equate to 95.5 for the automotive method.

There are no figures for the PF,but with a higher boost it's requirement must be higher.

I was under the impression that higher compression ratios require highr octane but was unaware that higher boost required higher octane.  If this were the case you would need higher octane at sea level than at 20,000 feet. What does the additional boost do that requires a higher octane?

This could pose an interesting dilemma relative to the higher compression cylinder/pistons Barret is building with the higher ratio blowers as in the PF and the monster blower some in Great Britain have installed.

They are the same thing. You are increasing the pressure in the  

cylinder. You can do it with boost or by increasing compression ratio.

In fact, you do. Have you ever noticed that your car pings when you  

floor it but not when running at partial throttle? "Ping" is detonation.

 	  Quote:

Higher cylinder pressures increase the rate of combustion. At some  

point the mixture detonates rather than burns. Higher octane fuel  

delays the onset of detonation and allows the engine to run with  

higher cylinder pressures prior to ignition.

This is why racing engines require higher-octane fuel. They are  

running with much higher cylinder pressures due to increased  

compression and/or increased boost.

This is one the nice things about the Huosai engine -- it is designed  

to run on 70 octane "white" gas. It will run on any kind of gasoline.

I guess that is why it seems to run very well with a 50/50 mix of 93 octane mogas and 100 octane aviation LL.
