Well, to get straight to the point, I'm wondering what would happen if I tried
running my new bike engine on white gas, aka coleman camping fuel.
I read a snippet on here somewhere else about it, but it was only mentioned
in passing. I did a little internet searching, but couldn't turn up much in the way
of hard data. I did find out that white gas is MUCH lower in octane, like in the
55-60 octane range as opposed to 87+.
Evidently some people out there run small two-strokes on white
gas mix quite successfully, and claim that it's better, cleaner, etc..
Still other claim that it's an abomination, will ruin your engine, etc..
Like most things in life, I'm sure that the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
I'm intrigued by the idea though, since white gas does not have that
strong gasoline smell. I personally don't like smelling gasoline all the time,
and if you are taking or keeping your bike indoors that is a huge plus.
What say you?
