Basics
- A Brand that sells Canned Fuel
- While they OFFER “4 Stroke Fuel”, as long as Ethanol Free Gasoline is available in your area, and you use either Toptier Gasoline or Gasoline with a Deposit Controlling Additive package added (and Fuel Stabilizer if the engine is used infrequently/stored for offseason use), this is largely unnecessary and VERY expensive per unit volume
- It could make a decently cheap+accesible form of “Emergency Fuel”, but the container may not be lined to prevent Liquid Fuel-Container Material Reactions , it is probably not Rustproof, and also may not be sufficiently vaportight
- Also as per the sds they use Butane Enriched Naptha thus the RVP will change with prolonged storage as that offgasses, even if the other components do not oxidize
- Butanol, Propane, and (if it is a Flex Fuel Vehicle ) Ethanol / Methanol make far better storage fuel candidates , in part to them being Neat Fuels
- It could make a decently cheap+accesible form of “Emergency Fuel”, but the container may not be lined to prevent Liquid Fuel-Container Material Reactions , it is probably not Rustproof, and also may not be sufficiently vaportight
- The main “product of note” is a PREMIXED Ethanol Free Gasoline and 2-Stroke Oil
- This is available in 50:1 and 40:1 ratios
Cost
- Gallon of Ethanol Free Gasoline cost:
- 2-Stroke Oil
- This gets a bit more complex as there are many choices for this; it is much less like conventional automotive engines where you either choose the OEM Oil, or go all out and get the Full Synthetic Lubricating Oil at that listed “spec” (such as 10W-30W etc)
- 2-Stroke oil is a bit more complex in all that.
- [Castor Oil]] “gunks things up” a bit, but this enhancement of the seal can create more power.
- This is common in Dirt Bike Motorsports and other “racing engines” where long term reliability may not matter as much since they will be rebuilt after each race, BUT any extra power is desired
- CITATION NEEDED, but probably less of an Additives Package (or none altogether) due to Total Loss Lubrication inherently burning oil, compared to conventional 4-Stroke Oil
- [Castor Oil]] “gunks things up” a bit, but this enhancement of the seal can create more power.
- ALL IN ALL could probably do several priced mixes:
- Cheapest 2-Stroke Oil on Amazon/Home Depot’s Website
- Best Selling 2-Stroke Oil
- Top Rated 2-Stroke Oil / Stihl OEM etc
