If the fuel for your four stroke contains sufficient amount of oil, say 18%, then it is good enough for your two stroke.

You shouldn't have any problem. I burn 15 percent two stroke fuel in both my two strokes and four strokes. Have for several years.

THE four stroke fuel is fine for your two stroke engine

Ditto, I use 15% Cool Power in all of my engines (2 and 4-stroke) with no problem

UM...I know that some fuel is labeled '4-stroke' and some is labeled '2-stroke' but for glow engines, all there is is GLOW fuel with differing percentages and mixes of castor, synthetic lubes, nitromethane and alcohol.

Look at the threads regarding making your own glow fuel and you will see that it's more simple than you may think. I spent some time researching this when I lost my 'cheap' fuel supply. Turns out it would cost me almost as much to make it as it does to buy it.

The most expensive part of glow fuel is shipping and environmental/HS regulations and fees, (multiply that by 3 for individual ingredients).

I'm looking for my first gasser.
