Don would you give up your blend how much of per gallon and were the best place to buy all the stuff you would need to make your own fuel B) B) Thanks Mike

Mike, do you mean like percentages?? I run 60% nitro & 15% all synthetic oil. Let me know if you need more specifics. As for sources-

Nitro & methanol come from WorldWide Racing - http://www.worldwideracingfuels.com/

Oil comes from Morgan- http://www.morganfuel.com/twocycle.htm

Let me know if you need anymore info ...

Hello Don. Specifically what improvements in synthetics are you talking about.Thanks

Eric

Primarily higher thermal stability & better molcular bonding to lubricated surfaces. The CP-07 that Morgan uses is one example. B)

Don I've never made my own fuel and would like to start i need to know how much nitro and methenol,oil to mix per gal .

Thanks for the info on were to get the fuel& oil

 

[Don Ferrette]

What percentage of nitro do you want to run? What oil percentage? :unsure:

 

[PHM Racing]

I'd like to mix some 50% & 60% ,but i'm not sure how much % oil there should be I was told that you should use 19% oil.

could you tell me how many parts of each fluid per gal.

Thanks Mike :unsure:

Don I left the info you asked for

Thanks Mike

Ok here's where we start....

1 gallon is 128 oz. or 3840 ml. sooo...........

50% nitro would be 1920 ml.

60% nitro would be 2310 ml.

18% oil (which should be plenty, I run 15%) is 690 ml.

depending on your mix the remaining balance to get to 3840 ml. is your methanol. I prefer measuring in ml.

Does anyone use anything to reduce foaming in home blended fuel? OR small amounts of Propylene Oxide with really high %'s of nitro?

Tim.

 

[Don Ferrette]

Most good oils already have the anti foaming agents in them........... B)

 

[TimD]

You know what the anti foaming agent is?

Don thanks for all your help ,I'm going to start mixing my own fuel i already have 2 45gal drums of meth for my race car midas well put it to some good use.

 

[Don Ferrette]

The methanol is the one thing that you need to watch. Nitro & oil are fine storage wise but the meth will attract moisture, try to keep what you are going to use seperate in something like those 5 gallon race jugs tightly capped. :unsure:

BTW- glad to help!

it's all in 5gal jugs in my basment i'll check it for miosture before i use it
