The contents are probably of questionable usefulness, but the can itself...if in really good condition (no dents, rust, scratches) might be worth 5 bucks to a collector in a generous mood.

There ya go....

Status: offline 		CRASHANBURN1,

Cox fuel has 15% nitro and ~20% castor oil. Should work well in your 1/2A engines. Cox also makes "Cox Racing Fuel" which, I think, has 25% nitro. Cox fuels use (or used) 100% castor lube because it is good for the ball socket at the upper end of the connecting rod.

Use it with much enjoyment. Put the empty can on "the bay".

Speaking of old cans, I have some Topsol diesel fuel from "way back when". I may add some ether and use it up also.

Status: offline 		I found a can of Cox fuel that I had stashed away about 20 years ago and forgotten about.

The can was unopened, so the fuel worked just fine for me. I'll bet a little of the nitro might have evaporated through the can sides, but overall, it was OK... I don't think you'll hurt anything if you try it out.
