What oil is best? and what ratio?

[mdavlee]

Down here dirt track racing is BIG! Theres somebody with a barrel of VP or Sunoco everywhere u look. Lots of race shops here carry it too

I didn't find any in the little town I was in but I didn't search too hard. There's a shop in Springfield Missouri that carries all of it. Might need to get Matt to grab me 2 5 gallon pails when we go to the races in May

I will check on that Mike. A buddy races cars in Thompson, CT and the series uses Sunoco fuel. I think I can get the 5 gallon cans for about $10 cheaper. $50.00.
Sunoco 94 EFree canned fuel.

Jeff, if you can, please let me know if that's possible. I'd be up for a couple of 5 gallons.

Theres several race tracks locally here with a shop pretty close to each and alota racers just order their own drums. Sunoco 110 is 9$ per gallon and VP 108 I think it will be around 8$

I can't remember how much this stuff was. The M5 from VP with delivery is over $100 for 5 gallons

Wow!! 2.99 for 93 efree here and 2.63 for 87 e free

That's methanol with a touch of nitro in it. The VP 94 SEF is $80 delivered. I paid $2.50 for 90 e free marine gas a few days ago. 87 is $2.15

It's everywhere here. The marine gas they do gouge a little on.

Will do Sondre.

 

[Crzybowhntr]

I'll take a box.

I'll call them and see if it's still there. I'll let you know.

Think I paid like $2.50 per gallon for that Conoco 93 e free? 87 e free is ~$2.20 or so per gallon

Like running the Conoco because it's basically running a cleaner all the time. Generally Conoco is a good bit more expensive but they also add a lot of detergents to their gas. I'll run just 87 Conoco in my car every couple of tanks to not have to put injector cleaners or anything in it.

VP fuel in 40;1 and 50;1 mix is available in London at Laser sales on Oxford street for $7.99 a can .
I just got a box of 8 40:1 for my occasional use machines .

That's a pretty good price for up here. Even less than Crappy Tire's Trufuel.

Saw Tru Fuel on sale at TSC today , not sure what you have in MB .

Ok serious question here. Stratosphere Saws verses non strato and oil ratios
My 6100 tunes great and runs very clean at 40:1 the 421 non strato seems harder to tune to burn clean especially on certain oils. Does anyone run different ratios for different machines?

I don't. I went away from some oils because of things like that.

If am glad to hear that. I was starting to question my tuning ability.

What oils are you having issues with Corey? I have both those saws too.

 

[mdavlee]

Anything real thick that doesn't combust well will do that. H1R, 800, and Super Techniplate all made a mess on the 550 I had. Most of those made a mess on any of the saws that weren't used to mill.

But that doesnt fit the agenda of some here that almost any oil will work!!
