AVGAS 100 LL subsitute authorized by EASA

Post by Jean »

EASA released a Safety Information Bulletin (SIB) dated november 8 informing owners and operators of aeroplanes powered by spark-ignited piston engines about the use of unleaded Hjelmco Avgas 91/96 UL and unleaded Hjelmco Avgas 91/98 UL produced by Hjelmco Oil Inc., Runskogsvagen 4 B, SE
192-48 Sollentuna, Sweden.
It seems that Lycoming Engines are authorized for that fuel and that no additional approval is required for the aeroplane, provided the aeroplane is already approved for operation with Avgas.

IO-360-M is listed in Lycoming service-instruction 1070.

Don't know where this fuel is available (except in Sweden), nor its cost.
Don't know if N registered aircrafts are concerned by this SIB.
