Status: offline 		I have a new Dynamite .32 marine engine to break in. The LHS only carries airplane and car fuel blends and said to use the car blend for the boat. Does a car fuel blend contain sufficient lubricants (the RC Nitro Boat Forum generally says 18% lube for Boats) for a boat engine break in? I purchased O'Donnells 20% car blend. When I call O'Donnells on this all I get is that they recommend their boat blend and that their % oil content is proprietary information which is not supprising but not helpfull either.

Status: offline 		I'd opt for the airplane fuel -- car fuel is too light on oil for boats.

Nobody ever blew up or prematurely wore out an engine by using too much oil.
