UL91 availability

Post by gregorp » Sun Jun 06, 2021 7:20 pm

Hi,
Yet again it is becoming nigh well impossible to uplift UL91 anywhere in UK (unless you know differently).
Is there anyway that the LAA could bring pressure to bear on the fuel industry to refine it in UK? Presently it comes by road tanker from Poland (costly)and post-brexit apparently it's difficult.
So many aeroplanes could use it but don't, and it is much more environmentally favourable than 100LL. Cost seems a major issue with uptake (5p a litre extra) so perhaps a reduction in tax to make it competitive is in order.
Any thoughts?
