Default David Gierke on Fuel

I don't subscribe to MAN, never have, but there was a fuel article by Dave Gierke in the July issue. There is some additional content online and a podcast. The podcast sounds disorganized or unplanned to me.

http://www.modelairplanenews-digital.../200907/?pg=73 The full article is not available unless you are a subscriber.

Additional information.

I remember nitro-benzene. I used it at 10% in my first ever glow engine in the early '70's.

I really stank. It had an oily greasy feel. I now know just how dangerous it was.

Back in the 50's we used a lot of the O & R red fuel that had nitro benzene. It smelled like shoe polish when the engine was running
