I know of several Ag operators who put a little avgas into their jetA tanks to keep the algae growth down, and add some to the airplane tanks at the end of the season to keep things clean during the winter. .5-1% is the mix if I remember correctly. Maybe its just an old wives tale? We have never had any problems. As for running avgas in the Pt6, not a good idea but it can be done as detailed above. Don't see anything in my aircraft ops manual that states anything about adjusting the fuel control. This is only meant as an emergency type of deal. If there is no JetA available, probably no tools etc. to adjust the fuel control either. Hey you could always go to town and get some diesel, that runs pretty good, just smokes a little more than kerosene.
Anyone have any pics of airplanes "hydroplaning" or skiing on the water? Having a hard time convincing some people that this is possible. I have seen it done many times. Pretty cool. Of course I would never do something like that.
