Status: offline 		Are the glow plugs for 4Strokes really different that those for 2 strokes. What fuel can you run in a 4 Stroke, can you use std 10 or 15%.
Thanks in advance

Crash

Status: offline 		Yes, glow plugs are DIFFERENT for a 4 stroke. Here's why: A 4 strokes fires 1/2 as often as a 2 stroke and needs a hotter plug. Most two strokes use medium heat plugs.

For 4 strokes, OS F is the best choice. Enya 3 is a good alternate

10-15% fuel is fine for 4 strokes. I prefer 2 stroke fuel that is mostly synthetic. If you use a castor based fuel you can clog stuff up after a while and it stains the muffler an ugly black color. Use at least 18% total oil content.
