    Neither do I, but I think it is a wonderful effort. Who knew you could rebuild a Spitfire in 2 minutes 22 seconds. :D

    Yep, I took one of those apart and put it back together, but not that fast. Back then I only used Amoco, known as white gas. Inside was sparkling clean. :Thumbsup:

    I remember folks telling me about Amoco gas back in the old days. Never used it myself, there were no Amoco stations where I lived.

    Great video! Only used Amoco in my TR6 until it turned in BP. What happened to the good ole days of 93 leaded gasoline?

    I believe that Amoco was actually "unleaded gas", which is why they called it "white gas". I remember that the old power lawn mowers called for "white gas only". I only did that in my Spitfire.

    White gasoline, also called white gas, can also be a name for pure gasoline, without additives. This was commonly used when leaded gasoline was the norm, to prevent fouling in situations where the properties of the tetraethyl lead additive were not required

    I remember the old Coleman lanterns that you had to pump up and pressurize, used white gas. Same with the Coleman stove. Use it back during my old scouting days.....
