[QUOTE=Duncman;12047563]I think I'll throw this out there and see what names I get called!!!! Just read an article in Model Airplane News by Clarence Lee and he recommended white gas, no ethanol and the octane rating will not be an issue with our small bore engines as flame propagation issues associated with large bore engines does not exist. He is an authority on the subject, any thoughts?
How long ago did he write that?
My ZDZ 80 called for premium gas. I used coleman fuel until they started to ask $10/gal for the stuff. That is real low octane. That engine expert from the Netherlands claimed I would destroy the engine. Maybe I did. I sold it.
