LJ,
How many hours do you have on your Rotax? I've heard that running 100LL requires more frequent oil, filter, and spark plug changes. What is your experience? So far, I've been avoiding avgas, and have managed to run mine 120 hours on mogas exclusively. tom

Ummm, my experience on a Continental only, so I'm not sure how it relates to the Rotax. I don't believe the fuel chemistry is adversely affected, but it does mean you've got leaded fuel. If the Rotax can stand lead, you're probably OK. Ron Wanttaja
