Phil Lockwood's Annual seminar on 912/914 maintainence at Oshkosk touched
on the issue of fuel
filters. He said (paraphrasing):
1) Immediately get rid of paper element filters
2) Gascolators are best option (personally I wait on removing the Europa
filters until all the swarf of spun polypropylene is out)
3) There is nothing wrong with the plastic element in-glass filters
supplied by Europa
He also commented that while the Rotax factory allows 5% alcohol mogas, his
shop has seen
no problems with the 10% alcohol mix in the essentially all (at least
seasonally US mogas.
This does not rule out cheap, ethanol or methanol sensitive fuel hoses.
Much of the rest of the talk was carried over from prior years
