1 quart baby oil and 1 gallon of diesel. 80-90% as good as smoke oil and 25% the cost. |
Thanks for the video, I will consider it.

report back..... :)
|
I will, since the KC has 60 oz of capacity for smoke then this will be a good solution to have it at any time for a reasonable price.
|
I've been using 1 gallon of mineral oil from the feed store to one gallon diesel... Works great
|
I found a case of the Bennett's Best in the garage. It's probably fifteenth or twenty years old and cost about $8 a gallon back then. I put a half of a tank in my T-One which has a cheap pump out my foamie Super Viper and no hopper to see if it was still good. |

Have you tried this yet? How did it work?
Thanks! Checking the density of the smoke, a mix of 1 gallon of Diesel + 1 qrt of mineral oil, $8.00 per gallon. I may have to increase the pumps speed, it is at its slowest rpms. |

I used this oil from the Wally store. |
I think I will be using this mix from now on, specially because the ingredients are easy to get locally.
A big thanks to Why fly high and desertlakesflying for the tip. |
Thank you so much. Looks great to me!
|
Agreed. Add a tiny bit of algiecide to the can to prevent its growth.

Here is my Boomerang XL having a taste of the new smoke cocktail :)
I also tested it during a flight, it looks as thick as the super dry fluid, no diferinces that I could see, I wish one of the guys watching the flight had filmed it, but they were too busy watching the jet fly |

That's why I did the vid on the ground, see the column of smoke floating away. I'm Terran :) |
Cars II, which pump are you using? |
I will take some vids tomorrow!
|
Rick, the pump in my Boomer is a TamJets pump, around 12 years old, the pump in the KingCat is also a TamJets pump also around 12 to 15 years old.
