Swift Fuels has opened a new facility in Lafayette, Indiana, to produce 100SF, a new unleaded high-octane aviation gasoline.
100SF is designed as a safe, drop-in replacement for 100LL, usable in all general aviation piston engine aircraft currently running on leaded avgas.
This development provides a crucial unleaded alternative as the FAA plans to phase out leaded aviation fuel in the United States within the current decade.
More than 100 people recently turned out for the opening of a fuel processing facility in Lafayette, Indiana, built to produce a new unleaded high-octane aviation gasoline called 100SF.
Designed as a drop-in replacement for 100LL, the fuel can be safely used in GA piston airplanes, said officials from Swift Fuels LLC, based in the Purdue Research Park in West Lafayette.
