2 Stroke Oil & Veg Oil

Does mixing some 2 stroke oil with your veg oil mean it is thin enough so you do not need to heat it up first?

If this is the case what ratio do you need to mix it to?

Does petrol also do the same?

use petrol mate. i distantly remember that 10% thins by 50% or something like that.

you need to speak to parrot regards running a fourtrak on veg Wink

hi mark. i run 7litres of diesel to 15 litres of veg in my trak. not tried 2stroke yet. ive run it on richer mixtures of veg to diesel and it just gets hard to start in the morning. if im going on a long trip i get it warm then just fill up with veg then when i get near where im going i put some diesel in for the next cold start. getting about 30mpg and that was with a crap filled inlet manifold (egr valve), half a turn on the pump and im on locked hubs. no boost adjustment as i cant be bothered. just cleaned the inlet manifold out so it should have abit more poke now and not smoke as much.

i put in 500ml of 2 stroke last night and then put in 11 litres (15 quidsworth) of diesel. there was already a couple of litres of veg/diesel mix still in the tank. i've driven about 30 miles so far and......absolutley no difference what so ever and thats on a 2 stroke rich mixture. Having taken the spark plug out of a well serviced and well looked after 2 stroke outboard engine the other day i dont think i will be putting anymore 2 stroke in the fourtrak with all the soot and carbon that builds up through using it.
