    30%????? what size engine are you running skeeter? they say anything between 10%-20% is fine. 10% will give you lower head temps. 20% is more for racing, but people use it for bashing mostly. 30% will cook (in the long run) any .12-.15 engine. ive heard that fuel in the color of pink has its natural color, so it wont gum up the engine when it sits for a long time.
