SAVAGE420 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 AVGAS is oxygenated also, i have run it for years in my sled and a couple in my banshee, as well as the YZ250. Mixes just like regular fuel with oil. Some say to run one size large main as its recommended with the added oxygen in oxygenated fuel. On my banshee and 250, i had to go up one main size but didn't on my sleds Some do some don't, basically just check your jetting as always. I love oxygenated fuels. There great.

XxMeltIcexX Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 I've never heard of changing jetting, but, they stopped selling AvGas here in AZ to people without planes. Guess too many people were making explosives out of it, easier to ignite I'd suspect being that it's oxygenated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to make sure that you use a compatible pre-mix oil with the fuel you choose. Some oxygenate additives do not like some oils. R50 is a good oil to use that works with most oxygenates that are commercially available. I do not endorse the use of AV Fuel in an engine not designed for it. :geek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have to go up in jetting if the specific gravit of the fuel / oxygenate % is high enough. If take VP 4.x fuels as an example, you may have to go up a main jet size or two. Just like any other fuel............. you have to tune for best results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbooker82 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Yea vp makes a U2 oxygenated fuel specificaly for 2 strokes. Or maybe the air port quit selling av gas to people without planes due to the fact that there is little to no tax. The air port is going to get in trouble if some one puts av gas in there car and runs it down the street. Just like running off road diesel (red) in your pickup.

tundish2800 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 quit wasting money on gas and go to alky cheaper and more power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 might be cheaper to buy but since you have to use twice as much there is no savings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVAGE420 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 might be cheaper to buy but since you have to use twice as much there is no savings. Exactly :thumbsup: Also for the guys like me that ride basically everyday be it quads dirt bikes or sled. Alky would be a PITA to have to purge everyday.IMO. Plus set your carbs up for it.....

tundish2800 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 If he riding everyday isnt that oxygenated race fuel between 6 to 15 dollars a gallon? that is a lot of money for a gallon of gas. I just figured that if your going to run that just go to alky. Purging is not hard and if you run the bike alot you dont have to purge it everyday. Setting carbs up for alky is easy. just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 avgas also runs ALOT more gooder @ 1000ft+ :biggrin: you do need a compatible premix, or it will separate. if you have issues buying avgas, just tell them you have an ultra-lite. (seat, engine, prop, hanging from a parachute) i buy it right at the pump, in a light industrial are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slopoke Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 av gas is 3.99 here and works great. don't believe all the hype that its not designed for "ground" use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
