    Echo standard is FC. Echo Power Blend is FD. Homelite at Home Depot is FC, as is PowerCare. I use Castrol 2T that is FB rated, and you can get it at many auto parts stores for a few bucks a quart. FB is rated the same as FC in lube quality, but a tad more smoke.

    You dumped that mix into the water????

    Oh my god!

    Oh dear. I guess there are a couple of things you just don't joke about.

    1. Dumping oil/gas into the Susquehanna River.

    2. Chainsaws.

    I think I would rather drink the oil than water from the Susquehanna. LOL.

    It's unfortunate to say, but I have drank the water a few times. There were a couple of summers when we did a lot of water skiing. Just out from Goldsboro and very close to TMI, no less!!

    We also walleye fish just down from the TMI discharge and across from the York Haven power plant. We do keep our walley consumption down to 1 meal a month or less.

    I'll tell ya folks, there is some mighty good fish'n on that river despite how polluted it used to be.

    Husky has an oil.
    Meets and exceeds the latest oil specifications for JASO-FD and ISO-EGD, and exceeds the current API TC Spec requirements.* Includes fuel stabilizer to reduce the risk of engine failure or poor running characteristics brought on by stale or poor fuel. * Improves blending with a broader range of fuels, including higher octane fuel. * Noticeable reduction in exhaust smoke. * Reduces fuel oxidation and improves lubricity.

    I'm using straight 50 weight motor oil mixed at 6 1/2 to 1, smokes a little but it's what my sister's, brother's, cousin, said to use so it has to be the best.

    Besides a guy I once read about.... Oooops I mean heard about.... Dang it! I mean know from a friend that has a buddy who knew somebody that lived next door to a guy that used to race put that other stuff in a gocart once and it blew it up, so it has to be garbage.













    Oh yes I did.
