Re: 87 Octane fuel triangle on Bf 109 F-2: possible?

Hi Roger,
i did some research about DB601E and Bf 109 F-2 and F-4 models, when we found a F-2 with a DB601E installed. I check some crashes in 1943 and 1944 and found out, that most crashed F-2 Modells came back after repair as F-4 with an DB601E installed. The reason for this was, as far as i know, the possibility to use the less octane fuel, better performance and better gun. Gun and engine was the only significant difference for all F-series.

Does this help you?

Greetings

Lino
