Has anyone run ethanol (E-10) in their Rotax 912S?  Is this stuff any good or safe for the engine? Can a lead additive such as Bell Performance Products be added to reduce the damaging effects of ethanol-alcohol. What is everyone else using other than AvGas? Just thought I'd throw that out there for discussion.  Thanks

I have a plain vanilla 912 and have been using standard test  gas out

of the Sheetz gas station since first flight in November of 2000.  I

have 800 + hours on the plane.  I have replaced all the fuel hoses

once and have recently recoated the inside of the fuel cells.



Still runs great ! !! ! !



I think Rotax still says that 15% ethenol is OK.  There are Rotax

engines in Brazil running on their mogas.



I still keep my fingers crossed.

I think 10% is max allowed.  I would not use any additives.  I just     checked Rotax Service Instruction SI-912-016R6 and here's what it     says...
