Fuel question revisited

I know this one has been run a few times, but from some of the comments I've seen, I still don't know the real answer. I have an AP .061 that I broke in on Cox 1/2A fuel. I have a lot of Wildcat 20% fuel that is 16% oil. I know I could add more oil, but what about running this engine on the 16%? Seems I saw something on Norvels being OK with 16%. I'd sure like to hear from someone who has actually tried this......Thanks

RE: Fuel question revisited

Check the oil mixture itself -- although the fuel is 16% oil, a lot of Wildcat oil formulations are 80/20, i.e. 80% synthetic and 20% castor. You can safely add more castor to increase the overall oil content to 20% and increase the actual percentage of castor in the fuel mix.

RE: Fuel question revisited

I run Byron 25%, which is 16% oil, but that oil is 100% castor...
