@zxb466 I'm talking about stuff in the 5 gallon pailhttps://vpracingfuels.com/product/4-cycle-small-engine-fuel/?c=232&

Do you have any Sunoco stations in your area. Or stations that sell Sunoco fuels? We have three 10 miles and under and all of them have a big stainless cabinet outside with 5 gallon cans of various race fuels and the 95 octane small engine fuel.The VP location near me has very bad reviews lol. There is another place called 100 octane that sells 100 octane fuel. I'm not sure if it has ethanol in it though I would have to ask.
Is it okay to use that "4 cycle" fuel on a 2 stroke?@zxb466 I'm talking about stuff in the 5 gallon pailhttps://vpracingfuels.com/product/4-cycle-small-engine-fuel/?c=232&
Just checked their website. Said no stores around me within a 100 mile radius lolDo you have any Sunoco stations in your area. Or stations that sell Sunoco fuels?

Its the same fuel as the premixed fuel they sell. Just no oil. Add your own like any pump gas.Is it okay to use that "4 cycle" fuel on a 2 stroke?

Ams oil or motorex..thats what i use...make sure its 100% synteticHello everyone,
Just curious to see what oil everyone runs? Is there an oil that Bartolone recommends for their engines?
There are motorsports oils that are blends and some full mineral.I see the Maxima Super M is a "synthetic blend." I though it was full synthetic but its not
I'll add a twist to this. There is more than octane that makes a fuel perform differently in certain applications. These engineered fuels have different evaporation rates and vapor pressure ratings, than pump gas, among other things. In my experience, running and tuning ope and rc, you know how much...lol, there is no performance loss with canned small engine fuel from VP, Sunoco or tru fuel.Since this has sort of gone to a fuel thread at the moment I will add my 2 cents ; if you want take it ; if not ignore it.
Higher octane fuel in a low compression engine does not make more power ; it makes less if there is not compression to support it.
I run VP 94 octane due to the fact it is the only non-E fuel I can get my hands on unless I travel to another state.
Even 94 is more than what these motors need. If I could get 89 or 90 off the pump here I would be running that.
Bottom line is if you can run non-E then do it , Alcohol ( or lack of) is the main issue not octane.
As far as oil pick your poison.
Yep. Some of us nerd out on this crap.One day old thread and this is the 30th reply. Yall must love this topic![]()
Look online. I had it shipped to me from a place called Zoro before my nephew became a dealer.Just got in touch with a VP station near me. They said they do not have 94 but they have the 101 octane and that goes for $105 for a 5 gallon container. Overpriced or is this okay? Keep in mind, I am in California lol.
