AKheathen Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 just buy the right stuff that it suggests......the garbage they put in most octane boosters will likely just make it worse..... Quote

GrMeyer Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 You need to buy the right gas.. If your buying octane booster then something is wrong. They are only good for about (.5) of a % of the octane rating if your lucky. I run a 50/50 mix of 100ll and 91 because I cant get 93 where I live and 100 oct is $8 a gal. Be running 100ll in three of my bike and just rebuild two and they are very clean on the inside. Some people dont like the Lead. But if you can run the bike hot enough you will not have build up of the lead. But best of luck. Quote

GrMeyer Posted December 15, 2009 Report Posted December 15, 2009 Well you shoudnt be having fuel/oil separation unless your running meth/alcy. Also I know if the gas sits for some time it will start to separation. Thats why some people rec to shake the gas tank before a ride and shaking the gas can before filling. But you have to watch out on most of your octane boosters as well. Most of them have Tolulene, Xylene, Alcohol & other goodies that will help the separation. There is a guy on here named Firehead (sp) He has made his own gas and has many write ups on here and what he thinks about as for fuels for whats safe and what not. Just use the search button because there are many many topics on octane/ fuel additives. Best of luck. Quote

Best of luck. oil ssepaation at 20 and below is normal for alot of oils.....i'd rather NOT have to drain my tank to shake the gas up and hope that it will actually mix and reblend with the fuel, or simply swirl through it.......i just run a different oil.....
