I have zero actual experience but I have seen the innards of a Rotax 912
(demonstrated by a Rotax rep) that showed the ill effects of avgas.  Lead
poisons the modern Austrian engine as surely as it poisoned the ancient
Romans.

Hi folks,
             just been reading the march issue of todays pilot magazine.
There is an article about fuels that just confused me. Read through a
paragraph that says mogas is unsuitable for turbocharged engines. Previously
i had read that avgas damages the valve seats on rotax engines. Now whats
the
truth? I think i'll be calling austria tommorrow. Anyone with  long term
experince on either fuels with the rotax engine?

     regards Karim.
