Pre mixed auger gas

Recommended Posts

I have been using S.E.F. fuel from vp racing for a few years now and my auger is always running great. No its probably not any better than non oxy and mixing it myself but its real convenient to grab a couple cans and keep them in a 5 gallon bucket with tip ups.

This will be my second year using the VP fuel. I buy the stuff for 4 strokes that has no oil in it and add Amsoil Sabre right to the can. Easy to mix and keep in the can. I only go through a couple of cans a season so the extra cost is not that big of a deal.

Its an excellent option if you only have one or two engines that use mixed gas. The shelf life of them is around 5 years un-opened. I don't see how lugging around this can is any different than lugging around a gas can.

I just like its completely sealed, could throw it in a compartment in my four wheeler and not worry about it spilling. Or your habds snelling like gas or having to strap 1 more thing in my sled or on my fourwheeler

I ran trufuel all last year. Probably went through 8 bottles.

Expensive yes, but great gas.

99% of the reason i used them was for EASY TRANSPORT.

Bottles don't leak and there is not dumb government pouring spout smile

I saved all the bottles and i'll probably refill them with gas this year to save $$.

This is what I tried last year instead of a gallon gas can. I would fill auger and then fill a used 1qt oil bottle (little short of full for expansion) and take that with. Just have to make sure cap is tight. It never leaked yet. Just an Idea. Any thoughts or concerns welcome.

Maybe I'm just lucky but I've never had an issue with gas cans leaking and spilling anywhere. I always make sure they are loaded carefully though, and I don't have to transport gas inside a cab of a vehicle ever so that isn't an issue. This premixed fuel is probably a convenient, useful option for some, just not me. Plus, the way my solo sucks gas down it could get spendy in a hurry. grin

I also have never had a gallon gas can leak, but mine is old style with a rear vent, and regular spout. Its funny, these old cans don't leak a drop when you have the caps on, but the new "eco friendly" style leak all over, and leak when you try to fill something. That said, Trufuel is top quality fuel. As I already said, it last a lot longer than pump gas. If you don't have a gallon gas can, then this would be perfect.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
