The nitromethane, however, has a higher boiling point and would take considerably longer. Unless you have some way to distill off the volatile (methanol and nitro) components in a sealed system, I wouldn't count on simple evaporation to remove everything but the oil in a short period of time. The oil boils at a much higher temperature. Don't heat the mixture in an open vessel; you might end out with a fire!

The Powermaster 30% Heli fuel contains 23% Low Viscosity Synthetic oil. The 30% Pattern Blend has 20% Low Viscosity Synthetic oil content.
Hope this helps out.
