Hey, KID!  Thanks for the comment and Happy New Year 2009!

It will run on regular pump gas but I find that low compression engines like that run much better on what is about as close to the oldfashioned "white gas" as you can get today and that is Coleman "camp" fuel or naphtha.

It doesn't go bad in the tank and gum everything up, has an octane rating of about 60 and burns clean.

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks! I only hope I'm as successful with the Hvid engine I'm presently working on.

Take care - Elden
