True,

When I drove a fuel truck, many years ago we had a 115/145 truck because we had a ADQ. A Douglass Skyraider
with a P&W 3350. Every morning we drained 5 gallons from each pump and one strainer sump on the truck. This to remove any condensate that might have accumulated. Even though pump gas was cheap at the time, many sailors would line up to get free fuel for their cars.
The ADs (engine mechanics) encouraged them not to use all 115/145 in their cars. One night I saw a 57 Ford convertable coming into the parking lot, and the ground under the car was glowing orange. You could see the partitions in the muffler it was so hot. After that he mixed up fuel with some 80/86. Too much of a good thing,
my not be a good thing.
