Default RE: fuel


ORIGINAL: Dr1Driver

IMO, Morgan's makes the best, most consistent fuel. They make Omega which is a total synthetic oil mix, and Cool Power, which is a castor-synthetic oil mix. They also make other types, including Sidewinder racing fuel.

Cool Power should be used in ABC/N engines, and Omega can be used in ringed and lapped iron piston (are there any still around?) engines. You can run anything from 5%-15% nitro in your sport engine.

Dr.1

Ok I admit I am a complete newbie, and fuel is something that has confused me from the moment I started back in this hobby. Every time I think I understand someone says something that contradicts what I had originally though. Until Dr1Driver posted this I thought that Omega (pink fuel) was the Castor/Synthetic blend, and Cool Power (green fuel) was fully synthetic.

The following is a quote from the Morgan Fuel [link=http://www.morganfuel.com/omega_main.htm]website[/link]

Omega Fuel is the number one castor/synthetic blend in the world because of its unique blend of reliability, performance and protection.

If you look at the Cool Power [link=http://www.morganfuel.com/cp_main.htm]website[/link] the banner at the top of the page states "The Original Synthetic"

So now based on Dr1Driver's comment I am again completely lost. Also I wasn't aware that one type of fuel (castor vs. synthetic) works better than another based on engine type. I don't know if it is possible, but I would really like to run just one type of fuel. I am currently using Omega 15% in my trainer (O.S. 40LA). If I were to buy an ABC engine would I need to switch to Cool Power?

Please help me understand all of this fuel madness.

Thanks
