RE: Mobil Jet Oil II mixing with Methanol
Hi guys, I'm sorry, It didn't work, I have to say. After using mobil jet oil for quite some time, I can see the fuel destroying slowly the fuel line ( it gets broken easily) , engines easily quit or fail in the air, discoloration, stains everywhere on the planes, this happens after leaving the fuel for more than 2 weeks without using it. My guess is just mix enough for use in a week, burn them all in a day, if you have left , don't leave it direct with sunlight for more than 2 weeks. That's my experience with mobil jet oil, I consider it's a failed test, still not replaced the current Methanol + Castor. Thanks All, Regards, Phi :-)

Hi all, latest update: after 1 month, the fuel color now turn to black, I don't know if the quality is still the same or it'll degrade. :-(

RE: Mobil Jet Oil II mixing with Methanol
Hi All, Thanks all for your helpful replies. After 2 weeks of testing the new fuel (4% Castor , 16% Mobil Jet Oil , 80% Methanol) , my friends and I have used up nearly 20 liters of fuel, testing on quite a few engines, OS 50 Heli, OS 55 AX, OS 46 AX....It works like a charm! :-) a friend of mine who doesn't want to use the old mixture any more ( 20% Castor, 80% Methanol), he insists on using the new fuel. Upside: _ lots of smoke _ Cool Engines (not sure if it's good or bad, but engines seem to be cooler compared to old mixture) _ Before, when I carry my old fuel (the old mixture 20% Castor, 80% Methanol) , it smells so bad in the car. But with the Mobil Jet Oil mixture, it doesn't have any smell. I think this is an important point. _ Engines are cleaner. _ Engines don't quit suddenly like before. Downside: _ A bit oily , there were 2 times that my friends were holding the plane and slipped his hands off the plane due to oily surfaces caused by the new fuel. But since then, we noticed that and we're more careful when holding the planes. _ stains on wings where the smokes come out , but can be easily wiped out. _ As discussed, there might be some health issues with the smokes when using Mobil Jet Oil, my point is, if we use it once a week, try not to breath in the smokes, then it shouldn't be a problem, should it? I'm more concerned on smoking and drinking than breathing in fuel smoke!! :P A friend of mine has asked a question, can we put Nitro into this new mixture? he wants to add more power into his planes. I doubt it, because the engine temperature with this new mixture is already low. I don't know, honestly. Thanks guys so much for your help, Have a nice day, Cheers!

RE: Mobil Jet Oil II mixing with Methanol
hi downunder, Thanks for your reply, have you got a photo of BP 2380 or Shell 500 , so I can show it to my friends here, hopefully they have it too. I'm glad to hear that Jet Oil works with Methanol, so I can use this fuel for my glow engines. Castor Oil here is 11 USD/ liter , quite expensive! and hard to find. Thanks guys, Cheers!

RE: Mobil Jet Oil II mixing with Methanol
Hi JCINTEXAS, Thanks so much for your reply, great, it's fantastic!!! so I'm starting to use it now! acually, I was wrong to say that I can get a good price, because I've got a friend who can give me a few bottles, he works in aviation. I don't know how much they sell it here, I'll find out and let you know, should be more expensive than your country. I won't be using any nitro in my mixing ratio. I'll test it soon and let you know the result have a nice day, Cheers

Mobil Jet Oil II mixing with Methanol
Hi friends, I've been using Castor Oil mixing with Methanol. but the Castor Oil Price is now more and more expensive. I'm switching to Mobile Jet Oil II mxing with Methanol now, because I can get Jet Oil at good prices. Could anyone confirm this ratio will work? 4% Castor + 16% Mobil Jet II + 80% Methanol I'd love to hear your comments and experiences on these mix. Thanks so much friends, Cheers!
