Considering that another 3 Europas failed to make it on the day due to Tech issues, this was a good turnout given the time of year. The Airport Caf provided an excellent all day breakfast. Thanks to all those who made the effort. -------- Bob Dawson Europa XS TG || 912 ULS || G-NHRJ || Dynon Skyview || PilotAware || SmartAss3 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=505324#505324 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/wolverhampton_doth_954.jpg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 11:23:01 AM PST US From: "Paul Munford" Subject: Europa-List: Fuel stabilizer Hi , Anyone out there used a =91fuel stabilizer=92 in their Europa ? I have kit no 625, G-OVPM, Tri-Gear with polypropylene tank & Rotax 912 ULS. During the winter months when it=92s harder to get the flying hours,there is concern for all the engine & tank components ? Does anyone know if there are any drawbacks to using this stuff ?? Thanks in advance for any opinions ?

Latest updates on my website below. Stabil won=92t hurt a thing. Don=92t ever leave ethanol laced fuel in the tank beyond a few weeks unless you can survive the low octane. Don=92t lea ve ethanol laced fuel in the tank more than a few months without water and other nasty growths in you fuel system and corrosion in your carbs. 100LL seems to last for years without issues with water or octane loss or any dam age of any fuel components. Poly tanks don=92t sweat but can get nasty if left filled with car gas. Again, see my troubleshooting guide. Here's a photo of six month old auto fuel (93octane with 10% or less ethano l originally) which sat for 7 months in the Europa tank in Kansas over the winter. [A picture containing ground, dirty Description automatically generated] Do your own research as nothing good happens to an airplane that sits. I k now that is an issue up North in the winter. Prep your engine also for sto rage. See my troubleshooting guide on what should be done to store the eng ine also in your Rotax maintenance manuals. Page 13 and on covers preserva tion for the engine in my troubleshooting guide.

Too large. The Europa Club has my topic on ethanol from some years ago. I've attached it below.
