I used to fly a Rotax 337 or 447 cant recall or what fuel we used. If the current Rotax can use normal 100 ll that should take care of most planes. Its a side issue but T-6s are certified for 80 octane regular avgas, so I assume they could use 94 octane, also. Im not sure you could talk an T-6 owner into using a alternate fuel, bit if so they do use a lot of it, maybe 25to 30 gph in cruise.
