I have a friend who has a Thunder Tiger MTA4 (two stoke engine) and he was wondering what the difference is between car and plane fuel. Is the nitro content (more, less) different? Given the added expence when buying car fuel as opposed to plane fuel, we figured their must be something different. Any one with an explanation.
Cheers,

Airplane engines see a totally different type of rpm load than cars. Airplanes run at a relatively low rpm, and see a consistant, linear engine load. Airplane fuel is usually lower 15% nitro content, and higher 15% oil content. You can run plane fuel in a car, but the engine will run like a terd.
