Huricane Mk I 100 Octane perormance tests 1.07.18301

[Crumpp]

But Seadog, Crumpp says the Pilot's handbook says nothing about 12lb boost.

No Milo,

I said the Notes on a Merlin Engine does not list 100 Octane as the specified fuel. That points to the extent of use and service.

By January 1942, 100 Octane was common enough for the Notes on a Merlin Engine to distinguish 100 Octane as the fuel for operations and 87 Octane for training.

I can see why you would be confused.
