Default bulk fuel ordering question

hello,
i am looking for some opinions here.

I want to bulk order multiple cases of the same fuel to save on cost.

My question is, some motors are os 4 stroke, some are saito 4 stroke, some are asp 4 stroke, and some are os 2 stroke heli motors. As you see I have a wide variety and each manual says to use a slightly different nitro content fuel.

Can i use a (lets say) 20%nitro/20%oil content fuel for everything? Even some of the four strokers that dont need all that nitro?

thanks for looking,
larry

Larry, none of your engines NEED 20% nitro, but if that's what you want....go for it. YES...one blend can work well for all of your engines. Some 4C engines sometimes prefer a little less oil, but none will ever be damaged by a little extra oil.

Have fun.

I use 10% nitro and 20% castor oil in every glow engine I have except the Tartans which use straight metanol and 8% castor.
