cool power fuel's

[Bootlegger]

      Who's using 10% nitro cool power fuel, and if so you know what the percentage of oil (castor/syn) is?
  I am thinking about some of this fuel, but some of the engines are plain bearing.
  Also is this fue mixed by weight or by volume?
  Thanks a lot...

[Steve Fitton]

I think somebody did a boil down test (reported either here or on SSW) and came out with about 12% total lubricant.  the archives have many discussions regarding cruel power, including the amount of castor recommended to add to prevent burning down plain bearing engines.

Cool Power is measured by weight.

  Thanks, Steve I thought that I'd seen a report on that fuel.
 What I'm thinking is to add about 10-12% castor to that fuel.
 Again Thanks, Gil

Cool Power, the green stuff by Morgan Fuels is all synthetic, I do believe. Their synthetic/castor blend is called Omega and is pink in color. It's close to 17 or 18%total oil. I would use the Omega with about 4 to 6 ounces of castor added, and stay away from Cool Power. Maybe it's that green color that gets to me! Things that go bad usually turn green!

A guy who came to town for a contest left me some Cool Power.  I use it to rinse out fuel jugs.

        Howard, I REALLY like your answer..   That sounds like a good idea..LOL...
  Dan Thanks for the advice, I'll do as you suggested.
  Guy's, again y'all came thru with good advice, I thank ya'...

The Cool Power green stuff when used for a period of time has the unpleasent habit of dying parts of your engine green. Look inside the exhaust [ports of any engine run with it and it has a nice green patina in there.Pistons are really susceptible to it.. But I do use Cool Power 30% Heli fuel in some of my engines. It is 24% synthetic oil and I can truthfully say that I've never destroyed an engine using it.

I used the pink Cool Power for years in everything as that was all I could get at the time.  Just had to remember not to lean out the engine too much.

    That is a very good line, I'll have to steal it from you and use it a time or two. BBQ starter fluid and weed killer are good uses also. The hobby shop I work part time at carries it because Morgan pays the shipping if we order a large amount or something like that. The R/C guys love, and when I ask them ,"Why do you guys like this green stuff so much?" the answer is almost always, "I use it because it doesn't leave a bunch of gunk on my airplane." These are the guys that hate to buy paper towels and wipe off and reuse the rubber bands that hold the wings on the airplanes. I tell them," Paper towels and rubber bands are cheap, airplanes and engines are expensive!" But it seldom sinks in. We just sell them new engines every year or two. Omega, the pink stuff they market is a pretty decent fuel and I do use it with some castor added.

I did a boil down test on Cool Power 30% Heli fuel and got 22% oil, just like advertised.

But Cool Power is full synthetic and Omega is 75% synthetic/25% castor, except the Omega 4 stroke, which is 50/50.

I run Cool Power with 1 - 2 ounces of castor added in my helis.  Actually a 50/50 mix of 30% and 15%.  And BTW 30% Cool Power is orange, not green.

I run Omega in my RC airplanes.

I have a bunch of SIG fuel for my control planes, once I get one actually finished.   Both pure castor (25%) and Champion.

So far -this time around-Fox fuels seems to make the older engines happiest.
That's what I found in the 60s-70s and seems true today.

OK so I used K&B for the real high nitro stuff but I was crazy young back then.

Sig Lubrecine still available??
