Dodgy fuel

[Sinsemilla]

I know Burson auto parts can get Redline and Royal Purple oils which are top quality. Heaps of marine places stock Belray. A quick google search should sort you out

The trick with oils is 100% synthetic stuff is always better

I use quicksilver or yamalube in the 130Hp carby 2 stroke yamaha. If you buy in bulk it is cheap.

If you want to try other brands make sure it is the correct specification for your engine, most carby 2 strokes will be TC-W3 but the direct injection 2 strokes (Etecs) require higher grades.

PS some 2 stroke experts involved in racing believe a mix of synthetic and caster oil is the best option for performance and protection of your motor.

Sounds like United fuel

It was United.

My motor is 4 stroke and the fuel tank is 105 litres.

I use my boat at least monthly but the few weeks I have been out at 8 times.


I have decided to run a second tank 20 litres for the bays and leave the bigger tank empty until I head off shore.

How much fuel do you use each trip?

Might be an issue with E10 overtime.

E10 is fine as long as you go through it regularly ie a daily driven car or on a boat where you are using most of the fuel every week.

Not the fuel you want to use if it is going to be sitting around though or only going through 10% of the tank every week.

I don't use e10 . I use 91 octane

In the bay i use at max 30 litres often around 20 litres

I think you will find all United fuel has ethanol content.

My motor doesn't like it then

[frozenpod]

Lol, your motor doesn't know any difference until the ethanol has absorbed too much water.

The whole caster oil is good theory is just old school thinking. It leaves deposits and stinks. Its the same with engine oils. Fully synthetic is always better. Pretty much all synthetic oils are TC-WIII and can be used in both pre-mixed and oil-injected engines.
