4.2 Fuel
The motor that you are going to use is a two strokes engine. It requires for the
lubrication an established percentage of oil/gasoline. When at the gas pump, always
choose gasoline unleaded 95 octanes.
The percentages will be pointed out in the following paragraphs, "break-in" 4.5 and
"normal operation" chapter 5.
The gasoline is an extremely inflammable and explosive substance. When you prepare
or in every moment you are close to the fuel (gasoline and oil), not smoke, not
provoke sparks or flames. Never fill the tank of your aircraft when the motor is
running. Position the tank of the fuel before starting the motor at least 10 meters.
During the operation of decanting, mixing, filling, choose an open place, ventilated, clean
and away from dusts, sand, grass and everythings that can obstruct the passage of the
gasoline. If possible while filling the tank of the aircraft, filter the mixture. Be sure that
the tank for the transport gasoline, filter and funnel, is perfectly always clean.
We advise only oil of good quality certified and full synthetic (no oil semi-synthetic, no
mineral oil).
We recommend the use of the following types of oil, already tested with success on our
motors:
Motul 600, Castrol TTS, Valvoline Racing 2T
.
Avoid mixtures prepared by the gas pump. A mixture had been prepared from 2-4 weeks
and left in a tank could separate (oil and gasoline), loosing the characteristics of
lubrication even if shaked before the use. Avoid to prepare a big quantity of mixture,
when you are already conscious to use only a part of it. Avoid use plastic tanks and
consider it as containers to transport, not left to deposit the mixture for days in the
plastic tanks. We dissuade the addition of liquids that increase the number of octanes.
Problems to the motor owed to a lack of oil in the gasoline or for a wrong mix of oil or
for lack of cleaning of the gasoline, are not recognized in warranty. See paragraph 12.3.
