Can a Jabi engin run safely and permanently on Mogas or is Avgas the only option?

I have owned 2 Jabi powered aircraft. An Explorer and I still have my Safari and they run 95% on Mogas 95 and we have had zero trouble. The key lies in the installation setup of the engine. It is not a plug and play engine so my fisrt question will be. In which aircraft do you plan on installing the engine?

I am interested in buying a Jabi 120/160/170 or even 230. Availability of Avgas is a problem as I fly from the farm. Thus a standard Jabiru aerie.

The cooling in the Jabi airframe is Ok for the application but a bit marginal at slow flight so I would recommend AVGAS but best is to check with Jab operators on the AVCOM Jabiru forum.
