They use it in the Lightning that they build. They use the Jabaru 3300 in
it. They are there with Jabaru of America, where, I believe all Jabaru
engines for the US are shipped. raft, LLC

Kit builders now have a coating for the tanks so that is not a problem.

I think you will find that Ethanol is a solvent for epoxy resin. Not sure if
you have FG tanks?

Subject: JabiruEngine-List: Fuel
List,
Is anyone using Auto Fuel with Ethanol. I am particularly interested in the
601 XL with Jabiru 3300 but would like data on any low wing with pumped
fuel.
I know some Rotax pilots using it but they have gravity fed fuel systems.
I plan on starting test at altitude by using one tank for 100 LL and the
other for High Octane BP that formerly was Amoco White gas. I was using it
before the change to Ethanol but have had concerns about it now.
Even using 100 LL I get a lower pressure with the boost pump prior to start
when the engine is hot and been sitting for a while. My main concern would
be at Take Off with a hot engine and lose fuel fuel pressure due to
Vaporization or cavitation. Ground temperature is normally over 90 deg. in
summer.
anyone have experience with this ??

| Subject: | CORRECTION Jabiru price |
My most humble apologies Pete and Jabiru! Terrible mistake.
My posting seeking technical information incorrectly estimated
installed cost of Jab 3300 including FWF at $24,500. I mistakenly
switched the numbers between the jab and the rotax. The estimated
installed price of the Jab is $20,450 and the Rotax $24,500! (these
are my estimates for complete installation only and not from suppliers).
I would like to thank all the folks who took the time to respond to
this request for info. Fascinating "real" world data. And I
must add that all reports I received on the Jabiru engine and
especially the support and service from Jabiru USA were very positive!
I now have to go back to digging the hole in my backyard into which I
will leap and cover with my airframe.
Cheers Cpt Vic
