Re: Fuel Octane
Hi Johan, I am not sure why you are using LRP, unleaded fuel is just fine for Rotax engines.

No valves in a two stroke, so no need for Lead at all.

Re: Fuel Octane
Yip, do not use LRP, lots of dirty additives there, just use the normal unleaded dinojuice whit superior 2-Stroke oil of your choice.

Rotax engines were designed from the onset to run on unleaded Mogas.

Re: Fuel Octane
The higher octane is preferable. Think of it this way.......one will feed one`s body on the best grade of protein at all times
