Outboard oil is blended w/ less heavy metal and toxic by product. The exhaust of an outboard is directly injected into the water that could in certain circumstances be later used as drinking water (1000 island area ny/Canada etc.)
truely for air dispersal it won't make a diff to your truck. as long as it's designed to burn it'll work like a charm.

lol, You know I was thinking the same thing???

We had an OTR truck puled over and inspected and they removed the fuel filter, cut it open and inspected the filter media to see if it was stained red........... indicating that you had at some point been running coloured fuel.

A big no no...

A friend of mine was fined aprox $7,000 for running coloured fuel.

(The actual payment ended up being under $1,000 after they fought it in court)

I was warned not to use SYNTHETIC 2 Cycle Oil... I'm not sure about what the problem with it was but... Not to use it...

Yeah, as I went down the fuel treatment aisle at WalMart one day I was scoping some of the diesel fuel treatment bottles. One brand had red liquid.


Hmmmm..... Must be for farm tractors.
