I've had no problem with it. I've done a fill with 100LL every ~4 fill-ups to
keep up the lead levels. This time of year, I run 100% 100LL because of
stability. Never had a problem with mixing the fuels.

LJ,

How many hours do you have on your Rotax? I've heard that running
100LL requires more frequent oil, filter, and spark plug changes. What
is your experience? So far, I've been avoiding avgas, and have managed
to run mine 120 hours on mogas exclusively.

Ummm, my experience on a Continental only, so I'm not sure how it relates to the
Rotax. I don't believe the fuel chemistry is adversely affected, but it does
mean you've got leaded fuel. If the Rotax can stand lead, you're probably OK.

about 150hr,I changed plugs at 100hr.they were leaded up but were firing
ok.On the oil part of lead,I havn't had the same problem.Maybe-becaues
I changed oil more often.(My plane is one of the Caldwell,Id builders group.
