Non standard fuels
« on: April 21, 2005, 11:22:36 AM »

When we checked into our motel in Waynesville last week, I ended parking my bike next to my bike  [smiley=drink.gif]. I was looking to see what he had done to his and noticed that the inside of his pipes was white and thought it unusual. I ran my finger in the pipe and it was like chalk. The owner Michael siad he had filled up with  [smiley=nixweiss.gif] I forget the name now, something like cam103 or something. He also said he puts plane fuel in there. He claimed that this does not harm the engine. [smiley=shocked2.gif]
I've never heard of this before and was wondering if others have done this. I have a hard time believing it does not adversely affect the bike over the long run.[smiley=behead.gif]

He was probably talking Cam2 gas. I run it in mine when I can.

Why???????????????????????

1)  Cause it makes "Red" very happy.  [smiley=laugh.gif]
And you know what "they" say, a happy bike is a fun bike!

2)  At $2.45 for 93 premium,  the little bit more I pay for 110 is pennies to me (damn I sound like KNG)

3)  It smells soooooooooooooo good!

4) It works well with my "Joy Juice" mixture.

5)  Have run it for years. Have a good source also.

6)  Started using it when I pulled the trailer with the 98 evo ultra. Spark knock was history!

7)  All my bikes will run on 87, but I happen to think a 30K+ bikes deserves only the good stuff.

8)  Did I mention it smells sooooooooooooo good?

He said he had gaz'd up in Ashboro [smiley=drink.gif]. I don't recall seeing anything like this locally (Greensboro-Winston), but then again I never looked for it [smiley=shocked2.gif].
Doesn't the bike have a problem when you go back to the premium? [smiley=cry2.gif]

if you have a race track near you - the stations near them carry racing fuel 106 octane - that is what i ran last week end - did i also say it SMELLED GOOD - what a huge hp gain - makes the lawn mower cut better also - really smells good - the stuff i get from grand prarie tx in 55 gallon drums is awesome - talk about white interior of pipes - mmmmm smell that [smiley=givemebeer.gif]

Kinda like drinking Bud Light, then doing a Yager Bomb, then going back to the Bud!

You have asked a question that requires a factual answer.
My answer is I don't know. Hasn't seem to affect any of my bikes.



Wait
OK, better answer than the Bud Light response.
If you run 87 all the time and then run a tank of 93, does it hurt to go back to 87?

I'll have to go ride around Rockingham or even Martinsville VA, both within 30 minutes.

I'm still curious though. I use regular in my truck but in the car it started with regular then I put mid grade and ran better so I thought go for premium. Then I tried to go back to mid grade and BAM, click clunk click clunk click up front. [smiley=brood.gif]

Also run it in my weed eater and leaf blower.

When I put it in the leaf blower my neighbor came out and asked if I had bought a new leaf blower.

Shovelhead is right! [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

It smells soooooooooo good!

Yeah, 'er 'uh, ufo,
 The white residue as opposed to the black, idicates the engine is burning CLEANER fuel.  The higher the octane, the hotter it will burn, thus producing a slight Horsepower gain, and a reduction in carbon.  It will not damage your Motor in any way.  If anything, it helps it!  The only thing it damages is your funds!  I use Blue Fuel when I can find it, which is 112-114 Octane.  It cost $5.25 per gal. in Beckley, WV, today.  It will be all used up by the time I get to "Maggie Holler", so hd2003 won't get to smell my fumes!

Doesn't higher octane fuel [smiley=nixweiss.gif], burn slower producing more horse power?

Blue Fuel,,,,,HMMM, 110 low lead aviation gas is blue, thats how you tell that the plane has the correct fuel. and it smells soooo good. I wonder if the blue fuel is in fact 110 low lead?
