trinity platinum fuel?

[maxxFX]

Ok I race a t-maxx and just bought a savage and had a race/monster truck jam saturday, the only LHS near me open had 20% platinum fuel by trinity so I bought it and broke the engine in fine and raced it fine, I know this fuel is 8% oil but are there any drawbacks to it or should I just go to monster brew or monster fuel, I usually always run trinity just never the platinum! :shrug:

I have used the platinum ,I really liked it ,but now run oddonnals .I wouldn't worry about it to much If you liked the preformance ,then stick with it.I ran 7 gallons of that blend through my 8 port with good results ,and it still had good compression when I got rid of it.

it works just fine. but after run oil would be a good idea with it.

I think after-run-oil would be good 2 use w/ any fuel...

 

[CorradoPsi]

true, but some people get away without it using higher oil content fuels. its really important when using a low oil fuel because there is less of a residue inside your engine to protect it at the end of the day versus a high oil fuel.

What is the oil content of Oddonnal 20% ???

 

[dmckie]

the oddonnal dosnt say on the bottle .

trinity claims that the platnium has de gummed castor oil, and anti-rust agents that help keep the engine free from sludge and rust when it isnt running ,but that could be just a sale pitch.

I kno it doesn't say it on the bottle i run oddonal. That is y i was asking maybe somebody knew from a website or something...

 

[dmckie]

oohhhh . sorry

 

[CorradoPsi]

it depends which blend of odonnel your running there is a R2R (ready to run) formula and a race formula. i would estimate from running them and other fuels that they are about 12-14% in the R2R like any other sport formula, and about 8-10% in the race formula. if i had my choice of any fuels it would be either odonnel race 30% or trinity platinum 30%. they are both very easy to tune with, hold nice low temps and make plenty of power. that and i have had both of them be very consistent from one gallon to the next.

You use your 30% in what engine ???

 

[psunitro]
