Re: Mogas Octane
Those of you flying on unleaded mogas (a previous question seemed to
indicate most of you) - unless you want an increase in the 'wear of the
valve seats and deposits in the combustion chamber' (Rotax 912 manual)
might like to answer a question.
What octane is recommended?
As an ex-pat I know I'll get a whole bunch of people replying '3-star' or
'4-star' so before you do perhaps you could translate that to' Americanese'
i.e '97', '98' or whatever.
Perhaps U.S flyers could chip in too with what they use.
The manual says 'EURO-SUPER RON 95 unleaded to DIN 51607, ONORM 1101' which
caused a few raised eyebrows at my local QuikTrip - one even looked on the
coffee can and asked if I meant decaf ....
Appreciate the help
