Jesse, as best I recall, Tracy Crook has always mixed Mystery Oil with his gasoline.  Perhaps that is why he gets such a long run on plugs rather than just his use of auto gas.  Interesting indeed, would sure beat trying to replace/clean plugs every 20 hours using AvGAs.

 

Ran into SAG on way home from Texas, so going to replace the plugs this week.  I think I'll get some MMO and mix it in the gasoline and see if it makes any different in the TBR I get on plugs.

PL’s opinion – FWIW.  If Tracy has been adding it he would know.  I don’t see that baking it at 500F in a cat food can translates to running it through a rotary mixed with the gas.  

Have you tried iridium plugs?     Al

 

If you use it in the fuel it breaks down and leaves a lot of crud on the rotor.

 

Put a tea spoon worth in a small cat food can and bake it in the oven for one half hour at 500F. Do the same with 2 cycle oil and see the difference.

 

For sag try the iridium plugs used in the RX8 engine.
