Filled up my RV12 with Swift Avgas 94UL at Dublin, Texas this morning (9F0)...just south of Stephenville.
Finding "on airport" fuel for the RV12 that is not leaded, has always been difficult, especially in the DFW area. The Rotax 912 requires minimum 91 Octane so we are forced to use leaded at airports (no lead scavenger in the 912 so leaded gas requires frequent oil changes) or haul our own from the local gas station along with everyone's favorite Ethanol, popular for eating rubber hose lines.
Now the Dublin Airport is selling Swift Avgas 94UL for $3.71/gallon ON AIRPORT! Before the end of the year they expect to sell 104UL to compete with 100LL. Obviously this is huge for those of us that need unleaded avgas...without ethanol...at an airport. Brad Stanford is the airport manager and the driving force behind convincing the city to support this project. He is there most days by 8am. Feel free to give him a call at 254-445-3331.
Swift Fuel is headquartered in Ft Wayne, Indiana and sent down one of the staff (see the pic below) to pump fuel and answer questions today. If you need 94UL without ethanol, on an airport....here's your chance.
