Usage of MOGAS in Rotax 582
Hi,
I have been using the Rotax 582 Mod 99 engine for over 25 years, with experience operating more than five engines through multiple overhauls. I am based in India and have exclusively used Indian MOVGAS throughout this time without encountering any issues.
Given the current situation, where Indian MOVGAS contains more than 10% ethanol (currently around 12.5%), I have been advised to switch to 100LL aviation fuel for use with Rotax 912 engines.
I would appreciate it if you could provide some clarity on the following points:
1. What has been the general experience and track record of using 100LL fuel with Rotax 582 engines?
2. Is it acceptable and safe to continue using Indian MOVGAS with RON 91 and 12.5% ethanol content in Rotax 582 Mod 99 engines?
3. Is there any additional inspection to be carried to use MOVGAS with 12.5% ethanol?
