I'm going to tell you a little secret. There is a local guy by my house that mixes fuel. He makes fuel for 3 different companies. Red alert , Trinity and S&W . The only difference is the color and the amount of castor and synthetic oils. But in reality it is all the same. My friends and I go to him all the time. He actually will make the fuel to specs that you want, including color. For example he can make it 20% w/ 12% oil content, 8% castor 4% synthetic. Red or purple or blue or clearish or yellow. So just run what you like. Look at the bottles of fuel at your lhs and somewhere on the lables they will be marked w/ the kind of oil and % of castor or synthetic or both.
