I WAS anyti-premix for many years, then one day I was in Pettits shop talking to Cam and Candy about it and Candy went and got 2 rotors, one out of an engine that ran premix and one that only used the OMP. Once I saw for myself the wear on the OMP car I was sold. I pulled my OMP system and now run premix only.
I will only use 2 different readily available oils in my car.

Or Amsoils Dominator 2 cycle Synthetic Oil:

I initially ordered a case of the Dominator in 8oz. bottles and now just order 1 gallon refills of either the protek or Dominator and refill the 8 oz. bottles and keep them in my car.
**There are a myriad of other brands out there, you need to decide what is best for you.**
I am just pointing out what I like, you go from there.

I use the Amsoil, and I think it works great. A work of caution to anyone purchasing two-cycle oil, make sure you are buying premix and not engine oil. Yes, there is a difference.

For those running aftermarket fuel filters, has anyone had issues with clogging up paper filiments with pre-mix? I am wondering about 100 micron size filters. I know there are mesh replacement filters, but wondering if they are really needed.
Thanks,

Mesh screen filter immediately out of the cell before the pump. It's a must if you run a fuel cell in my opinion. The foam will degrade over time, clog your pump and then fail. After the pump before the injectors I have this fuel filter https://www.cantonracingproducts.com...&category=2507 - can't remember if it is the 1 or 8 micron size but have no clogging issues whatsoever with 1oz/1gal pre-mix.
With a swirl pot, I have thought about ditching the foam inside the fuel cell. I would think it would only hurt as it breaks down and only slightly help since I have a pressurized swirl pot. I have only run less than a few gallons in the fuel cell so there is probably minimal breakdown at this point.
What I was wondering about is that 100 micron paper filter and premix, but I am thinking it would be money well spent to just upgrade to a 100 micron metal mesh filter.
I was just curious if anyone had filter failure related to pre-mix and paper filters.

You can not go wrong with Idemitus or their recommended mix ratios;
Idemitsu racing rotary engine oil and premix lubricants
Also with a fuel cell, you should (must) run a 100 micron pre-filter between the cell and the pump and a second main 10 micron filter between the pump and the injectors. If you are running carburetors then the main filter can be a 40 micron unit.

From all of my own researching I've already been running (Lucas pre-mix) .5 oz per 1 gallon of fuel so that's good to know I've already implemented that habit.
Thanks DeaconBlue.
