Transmission fluid and diesel?

Status: offline 		Sorry krazyc, I don't have a system in use at the moment. I am putting together a new plane that just may get a smoke system in it. If I do I'll post a pic. The smoke is still white, but he citronella oil changes after you add enough 2 stroke motor oil to it.
