| Subject: | Re: Fuel Additive for 100LL |
Dale,
I've not disassembled an entire 912 that has run on 100LL. However, I recently
did a gearbox disassembly and inspection on a 912 that has 650+ hours on it running
predominantly 100LL, Pennzoil Motorcyle Oil with oil/filter changes at
25 hour intervals. This is the first gearbox inspection I've done that has been
run with predominantly 100LL so I was curious to see how it compared to another
600+ hour gearbox run mostly on autogas, Penzoil Motorcycle Oil, w/ 50 hr
oil/filter change interval.
Both gearboxes were in great shape with all parts within service limits. The autogas
gearbox springs had less wear and were within new limits so we did not replace
these springs. The 100LL gearbox, though within service limits, were not
within new limits so we replaced these springs. Except for the spring wear difference
they were virtually identical in appearance and wear.
Note that both engines were serviced per Rotax recommendations. The primarily 100LL
engine changed oil at 25 hour intervals. The primarily Autogas engine changed
oil at 50 hour intervals. Both used the same mineral based non-synthetic
motorcycle oil and genuine Rotax filters.
For what its worth, I use Pennzoil Motorcycle Oil, primarily 87 octane autogas
with no ethanol(so far), and change oil/filters at 50 hour intervals.

Matt,
I receive the daily digest for several of your lists.
I always click on the above link to read the lists.
Recently something has happened to the output that causes links within the
list to not work.
I am going to try to include one of the links below:
Read this topic online here:
http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p 9299#209299
It appears that what happens is the page item itself is separated from the
rest of the link by a space. When you click on the link, you get an error
message.
I hope this post does not make it back to the original link, but if it does,
Do Not Archive .
Thanks,
Tommy Walker
