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. Lowell From: Mike Chaney Sent: Wednesday, June 06, 2012 10:39 AM Subject: Kitfox-List: Non-Alcohol Fuel 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 can't use the alcohol fuels because of the lining of my fuel tanks. I 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 2200? I generally try not to over analyze issues and maybe 100 LL is perfectly fine to use. However, I keep seeing the lead vs non-lead issue popping up and wonder if I should try to move away fron the leaded fuel. I don't want to start this discussion all over again so my main question relates to the use of the 91 octane.
