Good luck with that. I was partially involved with the Chevron avaiation fuel fubar at Modesto back in the '90s where they mixed car gas or jet fuel into a 110ll tanker and filled up many aircraft that had subsequent engine damage. Went on for many years. My engine was 80/87 and the fuel never went below those specs, my engine showed no internal damage but the FAA MANDATORY teardown was still on my dime. Chevron sent me a $50 check from the mass settlement.
