Autogas smells lousy I agree. Let me recommend you use Avgas 100LL. No smell to speak of and what little there is is actually pleasant. Carb Settings need no significant changes. Is what I use in my GT33 powered models. Grandson's T-Clips is powered with the OS GT15 and we use the same Avgas mix in the 15. Oh and BTW- measure shelf life in years not weeks. Buy Avgas at the local muny airport. The one I go to let's me drive up and fill my 5 gallon can and the pump allows credit card use. It costs about 50% more than autogas or around 3.60 in today's marketplace.

There is also puregas. New Jersey doesn't have any stations that sell it, but many other states do.
