RE: bee with 5%
hyperdyne:
Any oil over 2.5% added to the fuel is . . .oil wasted with Jet Central turbines. Our turbines with exception of the Bee will and do run fine with 5% oil content to the fuel.
The Bee will run as well, however, due to the finite injector nozzles in the Bee, the additional 2.5% oil may cause some performance issues notably at idle and / or acceleration. If the Bee sits stored, it is possible one or more of the injectors may become clogged. We suggest if the turbine is going to be "shelved" for a period of time, run the turbine, let idle then shut down. After cool down, disconnect fuel line from Festo and blow 90 to 100psi of air through the system. This will clear the internal fuel system completely. Nothing else is required. Priming the system MAY be necessary the next time you run the turbine. Caution not to prime into the "can."
Happy Holidays. . .
