Members,
This question is for those of you who have a Jabiru 3300 engine installed in your aircraft. I would like to know if this engine will run on automobile gas and if so what octane does it do best on. Since most of us do not fly near as often as we drive is there a need to use an additive such as Sta-Bil when leaving fuel in the aircraft for periods of 3 to 5 weeks.

T Graziano,
First let me say you have a name to be proud. One of the best prize ring boxers this country ever produced had the same name. Thanks much for the information. I am just about ready to fly.

Tracy,
We like to use what your manual says is acceptable fuel. Page 6 of the installation manual says:
Fuel : AVGAS 100LL and AVGAS 100/130
Leaded and Unleaded Motor Gasoline above
95 (AKI 90) Octane RON may be used if AVGAS is
not available.
In the engine Instruction & Maintenance manual it says (section 3.3):
3.3 Fuel and Lubricant
Fuel: AVGAS 100 LL & AVGAS 100/130
Leaded and Unleaded Automotive Gasoline above 95 Octane RON (AKI 90)
may be used if AVGAS is not available
Follow the manual suggestions for the best performance. If you use auto gas make sure it is good quality from a station with a high turnover of premium gas to avoid stale product. Auto gas does degrade over time and may be more prone to vapor lock. If you manage these potential problems then auto fuel (91 octane or better) should work well.
