hydrocarbons and peps up your performance, was on the local news tonight,
the guy has a patient on the formula but said he gives its use freely to
the
general public.


I've ehard of that. There's a local guy that carries a quart oil
container will diesel in it and when he fills his car or pickup, he
puts the diesel in first then tops the tank.

I've been running 2-stroke 50:1 mix in my Briggs lawnmower and it's
been runing fine. no plug fouling and I like the idea of a bit of cyl
wall lube too. I don't know if there's a performance difference or
not. it's a 5hp lawnmower so I can't seem to notice any difference in
performance.


The guy was on Channel 3 news, I think he lives in williamson co..
here is something like it,

I saw some where ( the actual scanned image) that one of the small 4cycle
makers back in the day would give an extra warrenty to an engine if you used
2 cycle oil with your gas. I use 50:1 all the time in my lawn mowers, and I
always have fresh boat gas and good running lawn mowers,
