It is good to hear that some of you guys have had the same problem. I
figured I wasn't the only one! I am going to pour in some octane booster in my
remaining gas. I did that once before and it seemed to work. The gas I
originally purchased came from Shell but I guess, as all the magazine articles
suggest, it doesn't last long anymore before it looses its octane.

Hi Jean-philippe,
I saw your adverisment for your Rotax 912UL and was wondering if you
still have it For Sale, or if in fact you have sold it by now as it was
a few weeks ago!
I have a Europa (classic mono) currently with a Subaru engine and am
wishing to upgrade it to a Rotax. Like you I would really love to have
the 912 S but can't afford one yet!!

Sorry folks - didn't mean for this message to go to the whole list!
Realised my mistake when I received it myself!
However, if anyone does have a second hand 912 or 912S (UK or near
continent) for sale, I'd be interested to hear from you!!!
Cheers, Jon

Since I use E10 now (that's all that's available besides 100LL), I don't let gas
sit in the tank much longer than about 2 weeks at the very outside. And usually
I start robbing gas out of the plane with the siphon once a week goes by and
I don't get to fly, and it goes in the pickup.
Personally, if I didn't remember how old the gas actually was, I'd drain it out
and burn it in the veehickle (to take me to the gas station for new gas for the
plane)....

Those who have had the engine driven fuel pump fail on a 912S...what
were the indications before the failure, if any?
The pressure on mine is fluctuating between the normal 5 psi and about 4
psi. I have checked all the normal suspects.
thx Joe

Hi Joe,
The normal fuel pressure is anywhere from 2.2 (low) -5.8 (max) psi. Most run from
3.2-4.6 psi. If yours has been higher that's ok, but a fuel pressure between
3.1 - 4.6 is very normal. Mine is only 3.4 - 3.6 psi. The other thing is where
is your fuel pressure sensor mounted? Do you have a fuel pressure dampener
in line between the sender and the panel? If your fuel pressure sender is mounted
on top of the fuel cross over line between the carbs then vibration is your
enemy and many people are remote mounting them which is Rotax approved. One
last thing are you a high wing or low wing and are you running an electric auxiliary
pump?

When you leave ethanol gas sitting in your plane if you have epoxy resin
tanks that is when you can start having problems with your tanks being
dissolved by the ethanol.
The part about ethanol evaporating you already know. The longer the gas
sits in the plane the more moisture it can remove from the air. The problem
with that is it also increases your chances of a phase separation when the
fuel cools at altitude. For what it's worth I'd drain what fuel is in the
tanks after every flight and only use as fresh as I could get fuel in the
plane.
Noel
