Help on fuel,please.
My"local" hobby shop,which happens to be a half hour away,stopped stocking Odonell fuel because of their outragous price.Like a dumbace i left my last gallon in the back of my truck and its nearly 100 deg here,i guess the cap wasnt tight and it evaporated in two days.This engine already has about 7-8gallons through it,so im not really worried about switching.I need a good alternate suggestion,please.Thanks

Byron's Gen 2 is wonderful stuff! I bought eight gallons and really like it. Unfortunately I am down to one gallon and cannot find a bulk rate anymore. It will soon be Trinity 30 again at Bud's place. I ran mostly Trinity for a long time. Odonnell's is good stuff, but you already knew that. [8D]

Byron's Gen 2 30% is the best fuel I have ever used. Lots of people feel that way too. It is so good, I stopped using Trinity Platinum 30%.

RE: Help on fuel,please.
I run Wildcat Eliminator RTR fuel, mainly because it's the only 20% at my LHS I feel is safe for my engine(And in gallon format, to boot!), and I find no faults with the stuff. Oil content is 18%, tho, and half of that is castor, so things do get a bit messy if you have an exhaust leak like I do, tho....lol. It's also only 19.95/gal

RE: Help on fuel,please.
Holy moly,thanks for all the input guys,much appreciated.The lhs guy told me id be better off with running 20% in my SH.Do i have anything to worry about running 30%,besides being an even bigger financial burden.
