Default RE: Neoprene, Tygon, and Viton UV Resistance

Pay attention to the bearings with white gas. I heard the story at the field that it causes pre-ignition which puts extra stress on the bearings. At the end, the bearings have to be replaced. Not once, but twice.

I am sincerely interested in this "story" as I have never heard of it before, and I have researched all of the forums and asked the cons of Coleman fuel (I know the pros, that is why I use it). Does anyone have first hand or documented evidence of bearing failure from pre-ignition caused by Coleman fuel? Please respond, for my own understanding.

And what does it mean to have to replace the bearings twice, not just once?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

Richard
