Default ethanol and rotax 277

I just bought a fisher fp101 with a rotax 277. Are there any problems
with running mogas and the seals in the fuel system on this engine?
Previous owner was burning half and half 100LL and car gas but this was
bafore MBTE was replaced with ethanol.

There seams to some concerns about ethanol with some people in the U/L
community . I have been using Eyhanol blended gas for quite a few years
(Canada)now. My biggest conserns with this engine is the use of 100LL.
There is alot of lead in 100LL ,and that can cause more harm to an
engine than running 91/92 octain laced with a bit of Ethanol.
You might want to have the engine overhalled at good Rotax U/L
servise center. Can't be too carefull.
