Status: offline 		anyone mixing their own fuel with ester synthetic oil, I would like to know what viscosity you have used. And would a synthetic polyolester lube be what I would want to use? Thanks.

Status: offline 		Ahhh The Peoples Republik of Kalifornia.....In that case...I believe ester based is what Skydrol is made from if that is the case you don't want that...can you get Klotz oil? I was going to mix klotz with methol alcohol....then add Nitro form a speed shop in Daytona.....that's when It became impractable for me not to mention storing the stuff

Unless you are mixing up allot of fuel (20+ gallons), its cheaper to buy the ready mix. I figured out that 60 gallons of 10% nitro would cost around $800 to mix up in our location. Thats $13.xx per gallon,

Status: offline 		Last time I bought the Klotz I got it at Tower. There were different blends back then and I got it with the 20% Castor. I think they still sell it.
