Being a beginner at this hobby, I ask the question. What is the difference between 2 cycle and 4 cycle fuel. I was told that 4 cycle has more oil in it. And that I could burn it in a 2 cycle engine. I then ask, what would be the benefit of using 4 cycle fuel in a 2 cycle engine. The answer was more compression and a cooler running engine. So this is what created my original question.
Here's my approach. I buy a good quality fuel. Each person has their own preference, for me it's Omega. I typically use 15%. Not sure why I don't drop down to a lower percentage, perhaps it's a bad habit from my boating where I run 50%. I don't keep separate 2 cycle and 4 cycle fuels, it's too much trouble. Besides, I've looked up the oil percentages for standard and 4 cycle Omega. Guess what? They're the same! [X(] Same goes for Cool Power.
