For all of you pre-mixers out there, I thought that I would share what I have been
using for that last 3 years. Find a bottled water brand called "VOSS". And,
if you don't mind spending $1.89 for the 13oz. bottle, you'll have a convenient
bottle to mix in. It looks like this...
http://www.springeraviation.net/premix1.html
I add oil to the point to where it says "artesian" near the top. NOTE...in the
pic, I have tilted the bottle to show the letters but the idea is to fill it right
to the line. This is 50:1 for 5 gallons of gas. I add Marvels Mystery Oil
in the remainder of the bottle (about 2oz.) This package travels easily to the
gas station and I used it on my trip to Sun N Fun. I just bought a new bottle
and after 3 years, the "artesian" mark is still in the same place on the new
bottle.

This method sure works better that using the Ratio Rite at the gas station!

Kip

Fellow Kolb repair dudes. During the process of repairing my Firestar leg
sockets I found I could not slide my legs back up into position.
Apparently while welding I penetrated the socket wall. To remedy this
dilemma I got out an old brake cylinder hone, attached to my 1/4' drill
and smoothed out the goober. Worked great.

Kip and others,
I've found that a plastic baby bottle works even better with the ounces marked
on the side. Can't go wrong here.

For all of you pre-mixers out there>>
Hi,
there seems to be much discussion about oils etc., on this list. Mainly
discussing brands of which I have never heard. Nothing surprising in that
between the USA and the UK but have you no main line suppliers as we have
Shell and BP?
I always buy half litres of oil and mix in a 25 litres tank of fuel. I
realise that buying a top brand in small quantities is an expensive way to
do it but it means the oil is always fresh and always dispensed accurately.
I have no idea of relative oil qualities in the States but I certainly
wouldn`t buy a brand called Marvels Mystery Oil as a matter of principle.
I am always offered a cheaper brand than the BP oil specifically made for
air cooled 2 strokes which I use, and I can buy it in larger quantities and
save a few pence but I consider my neck more important than saving a few
pennies, and I have never had a problem with my much maligned Rotax 503.
Of course now that petrol here is about 5dollars 35 cents for your gallon
no one will be able to fly at all..
What are you up to now? About a buck and a half.? My heart bleeds for you.
Cheers
Pat

To All,
Bryan and I have been making good progress on our Twin Fireflys. (That's Twin
as in two of them that are the same, not twin engine) I have a new 447 and I
want to have the exhaust muffler coated. Who would be a good source for the
shiny stuff that looks like dull chrome?
Steve

Patrick,
In Buffalo, NY, the the cheapest price per US gallon of 87 octane is
currently $2.37 and one of the most commonly used "main line" oils used
in 2-stroke Rotax engines is Pennzoil for Air-cooled engines. When I
lived in Amsterdam, about 15 years ago, LPG was used widely in
automobiles as it was by far the cheapest fuel available(due to tax
differentials, of course). Second was diesel, followed by gasoline. No
signs of LPG on the horizon here for everyday use in automobiles,
though many commercial fleet operators have converted their busses and
trucks to run on LPG.
There have been some noises coming from congress quite recently
proposing a $2/gallon increase in taxes to encourage us profligate
energy users and abusers to conserve, and of course to sweeten the
government's coffers, as well. If this happens, then we will be almost
on a par with Europe.

Now how can that be?? :-) You pay the same or a little less for the
same barrell of oil. We are at $2. 29 cents locally for Regular grade.

ps Marvel Mystery Oil is an additive for auto gas and oil in this
country. Not a 2 cycle oil .
