Another fuel/oil inquiry.

[Bob]

I've used Magnum #2 for a while in all my & YS 4 strokes with no
problem.....just don't like the way the exhaust smells compared to Cool
Power.  I ordered directly from Buzz by phone, told him my needs for a YS 4
stroke fuel, and he suggested the #2 blend.  When the shipment arrived all
the jugs said "#2 2 cycle".  I called Buzz and explained the obvious mistake
and he assured me that even though the label stated "...2 cycle" it was just
fine for 4 cycle engines.  It has worked just fine thank you, but I'm still
puzzled by the confusion.....comments?

Evaporation tests that I've done indicate 19 - 20% oil contest in Magnum 1 &
2. This isn't totally accurate but I believe it's a very close approximation
of the oil contest of the fuel. I have also been using Magnum for a number
of years in YS's and now OS's and have nothing but praise for the product.

Ten years using Magnum #1. Nothing but grins. I was going to try their DZ 30
next. I don't think YS needs 20% oil anymore.

 

Buzz Butler of Magnum Fuels has always been friendly with me. I think if you
called and talked to him then you'd get the answer you needed.

I've been using Powermaster 20/20 exclusively in my non-Dingo YS's & Saitos.
I really like the stuff but my LHS recently bumped the price to $22.00 a
gallon. I need to find a less expensive alternative. Central Hobbies is
selling "Magnum DZ Blend" (30%nitro) for $18.50 a gallon delivered with a
minimum 12 gallon purchase. I checked the Magnum Fuel website for oil
content details but apparently it's a closely guarded secret that the brewer
is going to take with him to the grave. Personally, I don't feel this is a
sound practice as I have a sizable investment in my engines & want to know
what's going through them. I want to stick with the 20% oil content.  That
said, Does anyone know if Magnums "DZ Blend" or their "20% Nitro Blend" will
meet my needs? Also, any feedback from those using Magnum DZ or 20% fuel
would be appreiciated. Thanks very much.
