WARNING:
Continued use of Premium Unleaded on pre “B” specification engines, without the use of additives, will cause piston
rings to crack, as well as valves and valve seats wear more rapidly than expected.
All unmodified engines supplied prior to “B” specification (prior to late 2005), contact us on how to retard the engine
timing to 22 degrees.
If you are unsure of your engine specification please contact us. Quote your engine serial number and date of pur
-
chase if possible.
FUEL & ADDITIVES
NOTE:
Only technical information released by Rotec Aerosport should be considered correct. Many third party opinions
found on the Internet are inaccurate.
RECOMMENDED FUEL:
The fuel of choice for the Rotec R2800 and R3600 is AVGAS. The compression ratio of the R2800 and R3600 is 8.5:1.
All engines built before late 2005 (“B” specification) should restrict fuel type to AVGAS until ignition timing is reduced
to 22 degrees to meet later model engines.
All engines supplied beyond late 2005 (Classified as “C” specification or above), will function on Premium unleaded
fuels (95 RON or higher). C spec engines have the ignition timing set to 22 degrees to avoid any uncontrolled detona-
tion. When using Premium Unleaded fuels (95 RON or higher), usage should be interrupted from time to time with the
one or more tanks of AVGAS. AVGAS can be added to any remaining unleaded fuel in the tank, as there is no need to
flush the unleaded fuel out of the system.
When using premium unleaded, it is wise to install a knock sensor to detect instances of uncontrolled detonation
along with a close examination of the spark plugs looking for carbon build up; including a regular valve and valve seat
examination looking for burning.
RECOMMENDED FUEL ADDITIVE:
Rotec Aerosport have tested and recommend Flash Lubes Valve Saver. It has been found to be beneficial in reduc
-
ing the harshness of unleaded fuels. The product was found to be compatible with Premium Unleaded, AVGAS and
in any mixture of these fuels. When using Valve Saver, flushing out fuels when switching from one to the other is not
required.
Apart from less carbon on the heads and pistons, and less wear on the valves and seats; Flash Lubes Valve Saver also
cleans the engines fuel delivery system.
Please check via the Internet for availability of Flash Lubes Valve Saver. http://www.flashlube.com/
NOTE:
Care should be taken to ensure that any additives used are compatible with AVGAS, Premium unleaded or in any
mixture of the two.
