    Default Swift Fuel 94 MON and the Titan 340 Engine

    Looks like 94 MON Swift Fuel is beginning to roll out to some airports. Carbon Cub POH limitations say 100 or 100LL fuel only while the Titan web site lists recommended fuels for the 340 with octane "93/100/100LL". So can the Carbon Cub operate using 94 MON Swift Fuel?

    If you go here it would appear its OK but I think you should ask Titan.

    By the way, one of the few (so far) places you can buy Swift Fuel is about 40 miles from my home base.
    I will try some and see what happens if Titan says it's OK.
    Swift Fuel has a higher energy density than avgas and you should get better mileage by about 7%
    It also weighs more.

    Interesting. If Titan says ok, you might want to try a blend at the beginning and look for any changes in engine parameters.
