I heard one time a few years ago that the allies had started with 3 grades
of gasoline: 70 octane, 80 octane, and 110 octane avgas and that after
D-Day, they dropped the 70 octane. As a result, as I recall, some of the
British engines could not stand the higher octane gasoline and lost valves
due to this change.
Has anybody heard of this?
Thanks
