I'm trying to sort through the information concerning running non-alcohol,
non-leaded-auto fuel in my Jabiru 2200.-(I-currently use 100LL)-I c
an't use the alcohol fuels because of the lining of my fuel tanks.- =0A
-=0AI have found a supplier of a non-alcohol, non-leaded auto fuel rated
at 91 octane.- Is the 91 octane rating acceptable to run in the Jabiru 22
00?- I generally try not to over analyze issues and maybe 100 LL is perfe
ctly fine to use.- However, I keep seeing the lead vs non-lead issue popp
ing up and wonder if I should try to move away fron the leaded fuel.- I d

Mike,
My wish for non alcohol fuel is more fuel tank related. Then there is
second hand reports of a local guy having vapor lock symptoms with his
Rotax 80 hp after warm up. I'd go there in a heartbeat. I have 100 LL
in it right now because I am waiting for a FAA inspection on my new
project and don't want the booze sitting in my tank too long. Can't
help with Jab specific.

91 octane mogas has a 95-96 octane rating using the ron method. according
to jab this is high enough octane. i am using 91 octane alcohol free mogas
from my airport, so is the other jab 3300 on the field.
