<DIV>Our club bought some Magnum fuel in a drum. Most of them wanted 2-cycle fuel. So I asked Buzz about 2-cycle vs 4-cycle fuel. He said the only difference was a very small difference in the weight of the oil (50 vs 60 weight) and that as far as he was concerned it was a meaningless difference. He only did it because he has to satisfy those customers that insist they must have 2-cycle fuel and those that insist they must have 4-cycle fuel. I switched from 4 cycle to 2 cycle fuel in my YS and couldn't see any change at all, but our 2-cycle club members felt better.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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 <U>20% oil content.</U> 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.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE><p><hr SIZE=1>
