RC Car Fuel

I run my nitro r/c cars on the weekends, they run a nitro glow engine.. The fuel is straight 25% Nitromethane 8% Synthetic Castor oil, 67% Methanol....

It's very cold when you touch and pour it.... If you pour a little puddle it lights a slow, low temp, blue flame.. And it contains a small amount of lubricant. Whet would happen if you tried to run something like this through there. It's about 20 bucks a gallon locally.

You can get different variators, they have race formulas with less oil, and more methanol....

I have run 40% nitromethane "White Lightning" competition fuels.
The car runs great and stinks of nitromethane at redlights....
My A/F mixture was lean, and the nitro really added HP.
Nitromethane WILL eat your pump seals eventually, buy some spares from the Devils Own online store ($15.00).
My top pump seal lasted about 4 months running a very high mix of nitro.
Do not mix the nitromethane fuel with water, as it will seperate.
Remember, nitromethane RC car fuel IS FLAMMABLE.
