You would be better off getting an ejection seat pack and installing to the rear just be sure its facing the way you want to go!!!

FWIW, Im actually a licensed Aircraft Mechanic, and used to wrench on turbine engines. Trust me....JP-5 WILL NOT BURN IN A GASOLINE ENGINE. HE WILL SCREW UP HIS FUEL SYSTEM. It will be just like dumping diesel fuel in it.

Additionally; Pretty sure 100LL is a bad idea too; I believe it's got lead in it, which will ruin your cats.

Go to the regular gas station and buy regular gasoline. Av gas is not a "hack" that is worth it.

I'd bet the owner $20 that you are wrong. And be damn glad to give him the money if his car gets screwed. $20 for a good laugh is less than what I would pay at a Comedy Club plus drinks.

Here in montreal the guys use 100ll from our airport, ask me how I know....TWICE on my plane the tanks have been sucked out dry, pisses me off and can kill, lucky I never trust my fuel guage on the plane,
guys can afford 50 grand on a hot rod and have no more money left to buy fuel. crazy.
