[NSRCA-discussion] OS160 Longevity

[John Ferrell]

The story I hear is that Cool Power fuels use a higher quality synthetic oil that allows them to run a lower percentage of oil than other manufacturers.

Red Max "Competition"  fuels have a lower percentage of oil than their "Sport" fuels because they feel that competitors will be more discerning in mixture adjustments and will prefer getting the burnable fuel volume up to maximum.

When I switch between the Cool Power and Red Max (Sport) I notice the Cool Power needs to run a couple of clicks leaner.

I run mostly YS 4C engines. All of the Cool Power & Red Max fuels work well for me and I feel if you have problems with either you need maintenance!

  Looks like there is a mistake in the table in the column Nitro %.  All 4C blends are listed at 15%.  That does not make sense.  I hope that they don't make that kind of mistake when they are preparing the fuel.

    Mike:  I can't find Cool Power 20% Problend on Morgan's web site.  In their Aero Fuels they don't list any Cool Power 20%. They go from 15% to 25%.
    However under their 4 stroke fuel section,I see Pro Pattern 20%. Is this what you are running?

    Thanks,,,,,,,,,Dave

      I have been running Cool Power 20% Problend for years in the OS 1.4 with the EFI bearing.  When I land after my last flight, I empty the tank with my fuel pump, clean the airplane, put it in the car.  The next flying session, I take the plane out of the car, fly.  After the last flight, I empty the tank with the fuel pump, clean the airplane, put it in car.  This  goes on year round.  No castor, no after run, etc, etc.

        I have been using Cool Power synthetic and add 1-1/2 ozs.of Klotz  in every gal.  for over 20 years for Rossi's. YS 2C and 4C.  And I always run my engine dry at the end of the day, and lube w/ Mobil 1 synthetic. I live in Fl. and in the summer it get's very hot,but the engines run great and the bearing last much longer.
