Hi everyone,

Unfortunately, as at other airports across the country, resistance from residents near my airport related to alleged lead contamination from 100LL is heating up. I could easily see a situation occur here as happened in CA recently where the city banned the sale of 100LL and has simply cut off supply to the local airport users.

In an attempt to try to stay ahead of this issue, I am wondering if anyone has any info on alternative fuel usage for the O-200’s in use in the Sport Cubs.

There is general information on the GAMI site that the Continental O-200 has been approved for the use of the 100UL fuel. However, I have seen nothing from Cub Crafters on the subject, and given S-LSA status, what they say, goes, as I understand it.

Any knowledge from anyone who has approached Cub Crafters on this? I’m interested in just gathering info before contacting them myself, given their presumably stretched resources these days.

Same question for Swift fuel, as well as MOGAS.

Finally, if anyone has used any of these fuels, any experience you could share would be appreciated.

Thanks!
