Autotune saws and fuel quality

[NorthcentralYooper]

That's good to hear, definitely lives up to the reputation then. I'm probably going to try some . At least for my off season cutting. Problem is I cut sometimes year around depends on winter mostly being I cut alot of deadfalls. Last 2 winters our snow didn't melt till mid May

I mostly got it for the mower and weedeater. I need to buy another gallon of 87 I'm down to a splash now. I have 2 cants on order for next week. Maybe I'll have time to test out 87 against the VP then.

 

[NorthcentralYooper]

Is it the VP Small engine fuel ?

Yes

The Stuff my friend has is VP C9 , he keeps in bulk so I can buy by the gallon . That's 96 octane.

SEF is 94 octane and made to run in OPE

This is the new VP pro mix 50:1 link to site

The C9 is still a non oxygenated non E fuel meant to replace premium pump gas . It still stores for 2 years.

I bet they changed their name due to utilizing their own 2 cycle oil now

 

[Cobby08]

93 non E for me...

They used to use Motul 710 , are you saying they don't use that anymore.?

If I try some VP fuel I will mix my own as well. I use the Dominator oil

I am only saying that I find it to be NO coincidence that VP introduced their own 2 stroke mix oil, then they changed their pre-mix SEF name.
If I had to venture a guess, they changed it due to using their own mix oil.
They just came out with SEF recently, so why go through all of the re-designing, re-labeling, and re-naming ?

Also, they used Motul 710 in their 40:1, but their 50:1 was blue ........... and that aint Motul 710

 

[NorthcentralYooper]

Well they actually still have the standard 94 octane SEF 50:1.

They just introduced the PRO mix 50:1 which is 97 octane.

Ahh .............. so there is a third choice now ?
I would love to see VP put out 89 or 90 octane SEF

Well they have the SEF 4 cycle , SEF 50:1, SEF pro mix 50:1

Yea it would be nice to see more options. I'll ask my friend maybe he might know if it's been talked about.

Third choice for 2 cycle, but 4 choices for SEF ..........they now have
50:1
40:1
Pro 50:1
4 Cycle

If you could ask him about 40:1 Pro mix ............... and if they plan on any lower octane SEF in the future ?

Oh forgot about the 40:1 , I sent him a message . Not sure what he will know on a dealer level

 

[NorthcentralYooper]

I heard back from my friend the VP dealer , he's unaware of any plans for a lower octane SEF then 94 .
They make a MS Motorsport 93 which is 90 motor octane.

And that's why your piston looks like this...
