When you have the problem you describe, = turn on the=20 fuel pump for a minute before starting and the fuel return function will = mix the=20 oil sitting at the bottom.

That works fine for the feed tank, but not for = the other=20 one. You could expect the non-feed tank to slosh itself silly = on the=20 taxi ride out to the runway, but I like to make sure the feed tank has = as much,=20 or more fuel than the non-feed tank before departure. On a = couple of=20 occasions, I've suspected that I've transferred a slug of my oil from = the=20 non-feed tank via the transfer=20 pump.

Thanks for all the other comments about = MMO. I'm not=20 sure that PL's test was all that meaningful. Something more = along the=20 lines of what Finn was getting at, would be better. =20

Tracy, why did you switch from straight = MMO? Was it=20 just the cost like Finn (known to be a big spender <g>), or did = you=20 suspect that there was a good reason to add some 2-stroke oil?
