Fuel????What brand - Biodragen - 03-17-2006
Okay I use Odonnel fuel.
I can't help but notice the diferent fuels out there by brands.
What is the most common fuel used\sold at LHR I ask----I was told by LHHS that is was Byrons.
Why?
Why not Trinity or something else.
What is so good about Byrons.
Should I consider a switch of fuel brands?
I do know that OD fuel does not tell me the oil content and that they do have a slightly higher oild content then most 20% fuels.

I think alot of people just like the performance of byrons, im running trinity now, but im thinking of going to byrons 30% for my next gallon.
Fuel????What brand - Mr. Tune - 03-17-2006
I would have never guessed byrons, lol. I use trinty (platinum 30%) and I like it
. No plans on switching anytime soon for me.

Fuel????What brand - Racin' Ranger1 - 03-17-2006
dont go with blue thunder. ive only heard bad things about it
Fuel????What brand - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 03-17-2006
stick with the OD 13% oil content motor runs cool and consistent. No need for a change
Fuel????What brand - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 03-17-2006
I like OD's because it all I have used. It prolly has covered my lean tunes more than once.
Fuel????What brand - Tex - 03-17-2006
just switched to WL 30% and it runs fine.
Fuel????What brand - squirrel - 03-17-2006
I've been running wl 20% since I started and never had a prob. I just switched to 30% and I like it better that the 20% seems easier to tune to me!
Fuel????What brand - thenewguy821 - 03-17-2006
I heard that OD has 11% oil, Not possitive on that though, Mike says 13%....
I've been running White Lightning for over a year now, and have not had any problems (Except the only place that carries the 40% is LH, and it's the farthest Hobby shop for me...)
Generally, as long as you go with a quality fuel, you should be ok. If distance is a problem, use whatever good brand is convinient. Like RR said, stay away from Blue Thunder though. Too many horror stories about their fuel...
Fuel????What brand - Michowski - 03-17-2006
Maxy 30%.
Fuel????What brand - kevinF - 03-18-2006
trinity platinum 30% is the best
Fuel????What brand - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 03-18-2006
ur right byrons is 13 % and OD is 11%
Fuel????What brand - Biodragen - 03-18-2006
Thanks guys.
I know All of you go to the track.
What I see most there is Byrons.
I was there last night and decided to try Byrons.
Had to do some retuning but not too bad.
Smells much better than OD does but it burns the eyes more.
I will run through this gal and make my thought fair this way.
Fuel????What brand - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 03-18-2006
everyone started running byrons after sonny O started running it lol they were giving gratuity for making the Amain at a couple pro series races and the Kyosho Nitro Challenge last year
Fuel????What brand - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 03-18-2006

Fuel????What brand - Michowski - 03-18-2006
Maxy 30%
Fuel????What brand - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 03-18-2006

Fuel????What brand - FreeRideFrosty - 03-18-2006
He feels the need to be repetative...
I have run odonnel and Trinity 30%. Both great fuels IMO... I am running Trinity 30% right now.
