I've found another project that I really didn't need. I've always wanted a 60 and a mate turned up a deal too good to turn down. Had been sitting for a while out near the coast, so all was a bit cruddy, but no major rust in it.

 
Tidy up and running it as my daily on free left over jet fuel from a mate.


 
And then the good wife wanted to get me a roof and bonnet paint for xmas. But that has gotten well out of hand and we're doing the whole bloody lot!!

I'm not 100% sure what the fuel is. My mate gets it out of older style Lear Jets. Once its drained for maintenance they can't put it back in. He's told me to mix in a bit of 2 stroke oil and some vege oil with each fill. Doesn't make the old 2H any faster though!

Avtur is aviation turpentine- 99.9% pure kerosene, I used it for my kero heater at home when I was a RAAFIE, for the same reason, once its been in a tank and not used it s drained out- considered to be dirty.  I would think that it would need the additives you've described!!  Burns very cleanly with little smoke or smell but wouldn't like to hazard a guess what it's octane rating is??  Len

I just started joining this forum. Most of my time went on off-road driving but I haven't tried using bikes and ATV.
