I am not familiar with Rotax engines, but I am seriously considering purchasing an SLSA that is equipped with that type of engine. Recently the lawmakers (at our governor's bequest) passed a law that is scheduled to go into affect the first of the new year. The law mandates that all fuels sold in the state must contain 10% ethanol. In their infinite wisdom they neglected to put in any provisions or exemptions for aviation fuel or autogas to be used in aviation. My question is, what affect does an ethanol containing fuel have on the Rotax engine? Will it burn ethanol containing fuel or is 100LL aviation fuel a better (only) choice other than ethanol containing fuel? Does it impact the warranty or maintenance of the Rotax engine? Thank you, Dan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rotaxengines-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RotaxEngines-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rotaxengines-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rotaxengines-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
