Couldn't we take something like Coleman Fuel, and add some octane boost, and mix oil, to make our own TruFuel?
Coleman fuel lasts forever in storage, and doesn't go bad.

I might do that. I have a wild thing that I don't have any real money into.

Lowes and Depot sell the true fuel here. Bought a can for winter storage. See how it goes.
As far as using Coleman fuel, its mostly Naptha, might eat up the fuel system. Here is the MSDS info for the can I have.
•Solvent naphtha (CAS #64742-89-8) 45-50%
• Aliphatic petroleum distillates (CAS #64742-88-7) 45-50%
• Xylene (CAS #1330-20-7) 2%
• Toluene (CAS #108-88-3) 2%

Trying them all
Probably not that much different from gasoline for cars. That has a bunch of different stuff in it too. Coleman fuel would have very low octane though...
Is this thread serous? White gas is not suitable in any any engine as it has an octane rating of 50, it also has a high burn temperature. Simply put it would knock like crazy and burn up an engine quickly.

Autotune would fix it. Anybody got an M-tronic I can borrow?
