Just found a old bottle and stuck some in my lawn mower. Just done my fastest ever lap of my lawn.... Was great The smell brought back some good memories.

use either Castrol R40 or Castrol a747 same smell, remember its too think to go through the autolube so I just put 30ml in a full tank of petrol,

lads, careful putting it in the tank if your using auto lube as it dosent mix with semi or fully synthetic and can congeal , i bought some from the Morris stand at Stafford, their advice!


he has a customer who sends for it every year, puts some in his chain saw, then watches the TT on his Ipad and revs the chain saw for the smell - we're bonkers aint we?

i now run it in all my garden equipment, no probs trimming and strimming now!

Hummm love the smell I remember using R30 in my Suzuki X7 back in the 80s never had any problems using it through the auto lube

[majortom]

it's fine as long as there isn't any synthetic in there

So if a put a cap full in the petrol tank it will not do anything to the carb or injectors. Thinking of putting it in the wife's bike because I follow her and I can get high on the smell.

Be careful not to put too much in the tank as it will gum up your carbs

I use 747 in my hybrid but it is running premix not autolube..Getting expensive though..
