What color is the premix you use?
Original Message Jan 28, 2005 4:33 am

Hey guys.
I need some help in learning what dye they use in the different brands of 2-cycle oils.
I ask because I have been running into a light yellow mix...and customers never seem too know what brand it is when I ask them about it.
I am familiar with most...Stihl-green, Toro-blue, etc. Opti-?.
I know the look of plain old 30w. Straight gas old and new is pretty easy too spot.
Most of the customers tell me that they bought it at the box, or some discount auto stores, or even drug stores, but they never what brand it was. Thanks.

All that I ever see is blue or green, never seen anything yellowish in color.

Might check body oils?

Thanks guys,
We use that joy oil at home...Mrs. Lint rubs it on our dogs Dick and Balsac...it makes the fur really nice and shiney.

Reminds me of George Carlin's gig about where to put the emphasis in scentences. His example.....

With the skinny skid shoes and spring on the chute, it not an Ariens. More like a Murray, nothing wrong with them.
