Fuel

KAVAN engines can be operated on standard fuel for model engines with glow plugs containing 20% of castor oil. When using fuel with castor oil, it is usually more appropriate to operate larger two-stroke engines (over 7.5 cc/0.45 cu inch) after running-in with fuel with an oil content reduced to 15%. It is also possible to use fuels containing synthetic oil or a mixture of synthetic and castor oil. The addition of nitromethane is not absolutely necessary (even for four-stroke engines), but in any case it will increase performance, idling reliability and transitions to higher speeds and simplify engine adjustment. For four-stroke engines (and large two-stroke engines) it is advisable to use fuel with the addition of nitromethane (5-15%). KAVAN Europe s.r.o. offers a wide variety of glow fuels tailored to different needs of two and four stroke engines.
