I don't want guesses or in my experience answers.. Please.
The reason I ask is that it appears that in the German machines it was not possible to interchange the fuel. (87 oct B-4 & 100 oct C-3) (Fighter Arm pamphlet Nr.1410144)
Also I recall reading somewhere that a converted Merlin would not run on 87 because of the modifications. I cannot find where I read it though.. Maybe I dreamt it!

The 100 octane mods specify different plugs. Typically you will not want to run 87 octane in an engine with 100 octane plugs.
