Automotive fuels should only be used where AVGAS is not available, and if used, must have the
highest anti-detonation rating practically available.
CAUTION
Fuel additives containing alcohol (i.e. Ethanol etc) will damage the sealant used in the fuel tanks.
DO NOT use MOGAS with any level of added alcohol.
NOTE
•
As the use of Ethanol in MOGAS becomes more widespread it has become difficult to be
sure of a fuel’s Ethanol content. Jabiru Aircraft recommend the following test be carried out
before a new batch of MOGAS is used in a J160-C.
•
The test uses the principle of phase separation of a water/fuel sample and agitating the
sample to induce phase separation. If alcohol is present, the alcohol combines with the
water and separates out of the gasoline.
i) Using a clear jar of about 100-200 ml capacity (ideally a long and narrow jar) add about
10% by volume of water and mark the level of the water on the jar;
ii) Add a sample of the fuel to be tested to the jar so that the relative volumes are
about 10% water, 90% fuel;
iii) Shake the sample vigorously and then allow the sample to settle;
iv) Check the level of the “water”;
v) If the level is the same as previously marked on the jar, no alcohol is present in the fuel
and the fuel is acceptable for use;
vi) If the level of “water” increases, alcohol is present in the fuel and that fuel may not be
used in the J160-C.
NOTE
•
For fuel tank capacities refer to section 2.14 Fuel Limitations.
