Coleman Fuel

[Bruno Mueller]

I have been running several Hit & Miss model engines for a good year now. Initially I used lighter fluid, but lately I've been using cleaning fluid from the paint store. It's cheaper than lighter fluid and also cheaper than Aspen fuel. The engines run perfectly.

We've been running our racing engines on Colman fuel for years.  They are 26 to 36 cc spark ignition, two stroke engines with relatively low compression ratios.  In racing trim they develop between 6 and 12 hp.

I never knew that. What kind of CR range is typical for this application? What is the major advantage of Coleman over say methanol since you are pre-mixing oil anyway? No real smell, cool running, higher octane....
