Regular Mogas in the UK is RON95 which is approved for 912S and 914. It is
listed as "Super" in the Rotax table. UK Super is the equivalent of "Super
Plus" in the Rotax table but is RON97, blended to BS7800, as you say.
Wouldn't it be simpler if we all used the same fuel specs!

Hello all,
1. Regular unleaded UK Mogas blended to EN228 is approved for only the 912,
not the 912S or the 914. Also this fuel is likely to be diluted with
ethanol, which the CAA forbids.
2. Super unleaded Mogas is approved for the 912S, but only if blended to
EN228. But all UK super unleaded Mogas is blended to BS7800, and this is not
approved by the CAA or LAA.
So we can't use any Mogas in the UK. (We could of course but it would
invalidate our insurance in the event of a related problem).
3. 100LL Avgas is approved for the 912S, but we need to limit this to avoid
lead build up.
4. UL91 Avgas is approved for the 912S and is the ideal fuel.
