Do not use full synthetic fuels or any fuel under the oil contents listed above

As funny as it sounds, but that HPI purple has to be the sweetest fuel for breakin I have found...Its got lots of cheap oil, but its not super slippery and allows proper lapping of the piston to the sleeve in a timely fashion...I don't like fuels with to much of a high grade lubricant as they seem to lubricate too well and greatly prolong the breakin period.....
