Steve,
I've been running my 582 for 200+ hours on nothing but 100LL
spiked with Decalin lead scavenger. No real problems, but I seem to
have more carbon build up than others.

I had very little carbon build up on my 582 Blue Head too. I ran only 100LL with the top of the Line Oil from 1-800-Airwolf California Power Supply AV-2. That's good stuff.

Lead will fouls your plus more often and will end up in crankcase in bearings.

I get 150 hours of one set of plugs and never have to use any "additives."

I run regular gas 95% the odd time premium if I land at marina and that all that I can get and the very odd time a few gallons of Av gas if someone gives it to me. I would bring in a few jerry cans of regular gas before I used AVGAS. It is just pointless to use AVGAS and add an additive.

Also I use only Bombardier XPS mineral oil .......... API - TC rated.
That is what Rotax recommends and ROTAX recommend to NOT use AVGAS.

I was told a few years ago by someone in a Rotax representative not to use a lead scavenger in 100LL in my 532 because lead scavengers are not compatible with 2-cycle oil and it would cause problems. If anyone has the “official” story from Rotax on lead scavengers in 2-cycles, I’d like to hear about it.
