wrong petrol

[grainbrane]

Hi, today I accidentally loaded my fg leopard with regular unleaded. Now it won't start even after putting in premium. This wouldn't have damaged the engine would it? Thanks

so long as you had oil in the fuel, it should be fine.

i ran 87 to 93 (here stateside) without issues.

check to see if you flooded it out? but overall, octane rating of fuel isnt too major, even leaded fuel will be fine. so long as its got 2stroke oil in it.

What should I do, I think I flooded the engine?

Check it's not flooded.
If you have another plug, change the plug, check your carb settings, and GO!!
Lower grade petrol petrol won't make much difference - DIESEL might ... mg:

don't matter what type of unleaded you run dude, some prefer the higher octane as they say it gives better performance, ive used both & the difference (for me) is neither here or there, maybe if your gunna race competitively then any bit of performance you can add the better...so higher octane is prob a good choice

we've had a big debate previously about the regular vs premium gas. neither will do any harm to your RC. Check everything else before you bother to drain the tank
