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!

Merlin II/III: Yes

"100 octane may be used, if the engine has been suitable modified", if it wouldn't be possible it would state "must be used".

Merlin XII: Yes

It shows different engine limitations depending on used fuel.

For all British engines: Yes

Clearly states that it is possible, however the operational limits are lower.
