Optifuel - smokey?

[chickentikka25]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same experience as I am. I recently changed to Optifuel 25% from Werks Racing 25% - basically cheaper and more in the 'gallon' bottle.

I've re-tuned, got the engine just about right, but it's pouring out a lot more smoke than the Werks stuff. Power's fine, acceleration's fine, temperature's fine - I tried glowplug firstly, then replaced all hoses to make sure there wasn't an air leak, and have replaced the air filter just as a matter of course while inspecting the intake pipe.

Tried another tankful of the Werks stuff just in case, re-tuned, nowhere near as much smoke. Went back to Optifuel, it's smokey again.

Just wondered if anyone else has used the fuel and has found the same?

Cheers.

Mine has always been smokey and have accidently leaned it off to much !!! As long as you get the accelaration and top end and run time ! " I did 1 stop at coventry 20 min final with my RB in the truggy no problem.
