It's been tricky getting lead free and ethanol free fuel for my Rotax 582 Pulsar. The problem was made worse by the CAA only approving Mogas in group A aircraft that conforms to EN228 (as well as being ethanol free). Most (all?) regular mogas in the UK contains ethanol.

However I read in the latest (July 2013) LAA mag (page 49) that the definition of EN228 mogas has now been expanded to include "super plus" mogas. Some brands/suppliers of this fuel (eg BP Ultimate from my local garage) are totally ethanol free.

It is more expensive than regular mogas, but because of the higher octane rating has the further advantage of keeping a bit longer before detonation problems might occur.
