The limbach engine 2000 is listed using 100ll the compression is 8.7 to 1 and I think that you could use unleaded auto fuel of the "super" premium 98 octane.

I use unleaded auto fuel 93 octane and a few gallons of 100LL now and then to lubricate the
valves.
A Grob service letter recommends auto fuel to prevent problems with lead.
The octane numbers are confusing. The German 96 ROZ recommended by Grob is equal to
the American 93 R+M. At least that is what a Shell fuel specialist told me, I don't have the
data available.
The 93 R+M supreme auto fuel is the highest octane normally available and should be fine
for 8.7-1 compression.
Alcohol in the fuel could be a problem and is to be avoided.

Since 2005 I fly the G109B in France with unleaded auto fuel 98 octane
with a lead substitute brand Wynns. The previous owner did the same in
Germany for many years.
