    Default Fuel Placards

    For those of you using a Rotax 912ULS, what are you placing on the wing tanks filler neck for minimum fuel type and octane rating placards ? I know the Rotax manual says MOGAS and AVGAS 100LL can be used, but I am curious as to how people are placarding their aircraft.

    Dick,
    I bought a fuel resistant decal from the Rotax dealer in Sebring, FL http://lockwood-aviation.com/. It was made for the Rotax 912S.
    On both airplanes I built before, the DAR got a ladder and climbed up to see how the tanks were labeled. Guess it is a DAR item, not an Airworthiness item based on others experience.

    It seems all FSDOs have a different intrepretation of the rules and every inspector in the FSDO has their own intrepertation of that FSDOs intrepertation.

    My DAR checked to see that the fuel tank fillers were labeled with minimum octane and that the tanks were labeled with capacity. I had the tank capacity and unusable amount labeled on the tank site gages. He liked that.

    Here's what the EAA expert has to say. http://bcove.me/29ouw6w4

    The DAR who did my plane expected the placard to be there. It is not a big deal to apply the fuel tank placard information and it can save a person some trouble with the fueling crew.
