Default RE: Substitute for Ether

We are searching for cheaper, better/best fuel components to give cheaper, better fuel, no argument that pump diesel and motor oils do work, but results are very varied.

Have you tried it yet? My results have been very consitent since I have come up with my final mix.

Did you read that Reg had to back off the compression screw on his engine oil mix?

The idea that engine oil reduces the fuels ability to burn may not be true. It just may reduce the ability of the oil to burn which just might be a good thing.

I think olive oil needs to be compared to engine oil directly or the whole thing may be a big waste of time unless "green" is the goal and then I admit it wins.

Personally I don't think what fuel I burn in my models makes a bit of difference to the overall enviromental situation. Transportation and buiding energy is a different story.

So what is the goal of the Olive oil mix?

Saying that the olive oil mix is better when no one is flying it consitently yet is a bit optomistic. I'm flying my mix a lot. You should think about trying it. Darn, I wish you guys lived near me and we could all fly together.......
