Sig makes good fuel, certainly nothing wrong with it, tops as far as I am concerned. I was purchasing it from the nearest hobby stores 95 miles away, until they all stopped stocking Sig fuels. Regarding the fuel coloring, I always thought it benign. Some were adding a dye to help the modeler to differentiate between their different grades of fuel.

P.S., if life couldn't get any stranger, I found this announcement that I was totally unaware of.

LiveRC wrote:Ida Grove, IA (May 28, 2020) – Byron Originals, Inc., an Iowa-based manufacturer, is making the difficult announcement that the company will be ending production and discontinuing their Byron Fuels brand after 32 years of operation in the RC fuels industry. Over the last decade, demand for RC nitro fuel has significantly declined due to industry and consumer-related factors. Production will officially end in late May, and the brand will be retired when the remaining product inventory is sold.

Another fuel maker bites the dust. Sad

Thanks Andrew and George for your insightful information!!
A flying buddy switched from glow to gas to drones and gave me his remaining Omega fuel to clear his shop.
I was trying to doctor up the green synthetic oil 15%N fuel on the cheap when I thought to try to experiment with the dirt bike castor.
Thanks to your advice and I may or may not use the 927 on anything all.
The toys are beginning to get expensive and hard to find and I don't want to play mad scientist with them.
Thanks again, Steve.

Hi David, Hoppe's No 9 solvent is a kerosene and ethyl alcohol mixture with some additives. No use any with glow fuel.
