hour
inspection,

strainer,

(b)
Fuel
Requirements
(AVGAS
ONLY)
The
minimum
aviation
grade
fuel
for
the
PA-28-181
is
100.
Since
the
use
of
lower
grades
can
cause
serious
engine
damage
in
a
short
period
of
time,
the
engine
warranty
is
invalidated
by
the
use
of
lower
octanes.
Whenever
100
or
100LL
grade
fuel
is
not
available,
commercial
grade
100/130
should
be
used.
(See
Fuel
