red750 Posted February 8 Posted February 8 Cirrus Tells Owners Not To Use Unleaded Fuel WWW.AVWEB.COM Cirrus is concerned G100UL may cause structural damage to its airplanes.
spacesailor Posted February 8 Posted February 8 (edited) What is " G100 " I understand " UL " but , nowhere can I find ' mogas 100 UL fuel '. I like others have to use ' AVgas 100 LL ' or 98 super petrol ( mogas ) . spacesailor PS. : any fuel spilt onto " composite " aircraft , would be a worry . Keep it in the fuel tank .

kgwilson Posted February 11 Posted February 11 There is no problem with the fuel itself as Cirrus approved it originally & anyway it is used in lycoming engines. After doing the latest check which noted some paint damage around the drainage sump of a single Cirrus, this was confirmed as a maintenance issue and there were no safety of flight issues. A G100 developer employee and Cirrus owner has been using the fuel for 15 years with no engine or paint issues. It all sounds like an attempt to get some money out of GAMI with the Cirrus owner failing to wipe off spilt fuel. 2
