Default Gasohol Problem?

Never saw this TC-W3 stuff. Is it the same as Sea Foam or Mercury's
Quick Clean?
Who sells it?


No. TC-W3 is marine-grade 2-stroke oil you mix in to lubricate 2-stroke
crankcases. It doesn't evaporate in the float bowl of the little carbs, so
the shellac from the gas that DID evaporate remains in solution with the
residual TC-W3 (or any oil that doesn't evaporate for that
matter)...instead of forming that really HARD BROWN coating all over the
inside to the carb.

I use TC-W3 because it's made to burn with gasoline in gasoline engines. I
suppose a tiny mix of diesel fuel or vegetable oil would do the same if it
weren't concentrated enough to put out the fire or make much smoke.

A little top oil is a good thing in 4-stroke engines, anyway....it's why
diesel engines just last longer....



Oh, I want that Frybrid for my old Mercedes more every day....
