Reply To: Yes, another fuel oil mix question :(

Hi Fleetwin,

Thanks for your response. To be clear, I’m sticking to 16:1 as recommended, I’ve just finished a complete overhaul and paint job. Since this will not be my daily runner I’m not that concerned of using a 16:1 mix. It’s just that I’m curious if people have actually run these motors on 24:1 over a longer periods and how that turned out in terms of wear and tear. Is there actual experience that it’s bad for your engine at modest speeds, or is it just a matter of “better safe than sorry”?
