Does anyone out there use Model Technics Bekra 20 fuel. I have been told that my YS50 will run jus fine on that.

Check the instructions for the YS engine - they need min 22% oil and min 15% nitro.

Cool Power has about 18% oil
Magnum has 22 or 23% oil

Dunno about Bekra but I'm sure you can find out what's in it with a bit of websurfing.

I like Cool Power best of all as a fuel, but use Magnum 30 in my YS engines just for the oil content.

Bekra 20 has only got 18% EDL.

I use it all the time as Model Technics are just down the road from here so its the local fuel. Im running it in my Hyper 50's and others.

I run my YS91's on Bekra and it's a great fuel..

You've nothing to worry about running your 50 on it.

Oil percentage is subjective and has to be based on the oil's viscosity. If the oil has a low viscosity then I think you will have a higher percentage in the fuel.

I have been using Bekra 20% for some time now and I am not having any problems. A guy at my club has always used Bekra 20% in his OS and YS engines and never had a problem and he claims he has not had a bearing failure.

18% oil content which is made up of EDL and Klotz regular Techniplate oils........good suff, I use the 16% in my Hypers.
