Low sulfur fuel

Hello!

Does anybody know anything about the positive or negative aspects of using a low sulfur gasoline in the rotary engine?

It seems to me, the sulfur may act as a somewhat abrasive agent to the seals and rotor housings, (I think I read a while back, lead has this effect) and I would think it wouldn't be kind to catalysts either. Thanks!
