Default Newbie.

Use any 87 - 89 octaine gasoline but mix at least 32 to 1 with a quality two stroke oil.

I use Dubro glo tanks but you must use a fuel line made for gasoline. It's available at your local hobby shop. You must also use a tank plug made for gasoline for your vent and supply lines.

You will not need a glo warmer as gasoline engines use a spark plug, not a glo plug.

As for starting equipment, some flip them by hand but I use a Sullivan Dytronics starter with a Miller reduction unit. Saves fingers and keeps the old arm from getting sore.

Suggest you have a fire extinguisher handy also, never know.....
