blue blunder.. ive rebuilt/replaced MANY motors from that stuff... See if you can get your hands on either Byrons or Rocket Science... Both VERY good fuels but the Byrons has me because you can sit there and tune your truck while running and your eyes dont fall out 20% is fine, but in the end, get something redily available and what many people around you use.. always a good thing!

I ran 20% O'Donnel for 2 years and I just switched to 30% White Lighting... I will NEVER go back. White Lightning 30% is absolutly amazing fuel. Top quality.

I use 20% Red Alert, very good IMO, but it's all I have used. Seems to not have a noxious smell and be pretty good a lubrication. Most fuels are made by the same company anyway, just have a different name stamped on them.

I use White Lightning 20% and its the Best Fuel I've ever used, But be Sure you Know how to Tune Good, As it only has 8% Oil.
