Key Takeaways:

  • Swift Fuels is significantly expanding the distribution of its UL94 Unleaded Avgas to the US Pacific Coast corridor, making it available at numerous airfields across California.
  • UL94 is FAA-authorized for approximately 66% of the US piston fleet (over 130,000 aircraft) as a "drop-in ready" fuel, meeting ASTM International fuel specification D7547.
  • The expansion responds to strong demand from pilots and communities for lead-free aviation fuel, with Swift Fuels also working towards FAA certification of a high-octane unleaded fuel (100R) for all aircraft currently approved for 100LL.

At EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, Swift Fuels announced the expansion of its high-performance UL94 Unleaded Avgas product into the US Pacific Coast corridor. The expansion will provide dozens of airfields across California with unleaded avgas. Airports in San Mateo, Santa Clara, Los Angeles, and San Diego counties will receive this distribution, which builds on the six-year effort by Swift Fuels to provide UL94 unleaded avgas to piston aircraft pilots nationwide.
