is it while you are running it or when you put it away.
i have been mixing my own fuel for ten years using vp rc3 castor oil and never had a problem with castor oil or runner time fuel for when the worlds where here.....
i had one bad batch of methanol that caused excess wear on the motor... i know that it was the methanol due to i always get it from the same place . just the one time i got it else where and had the problem.
you can tell its the methanol by looking in the motor, if there is a yellowish colour on the internals of the motor..
i see it all the time people buying the wrong fuels and blowning engines...
there is 3 grades of methanol you can get "in australia" they are approx 80% , 90% and the 99.99% this is the one you want to use..
