Miss vegas engine change.

I am just about to start t break in my new .18 cvr-m and plan on using S&W Boat fuel 30% Nitro with 16% oil content I do not think they use castor and all synthetic the owner does not want to give away his trade secrets as to oil contents and Formula's (he is are a sponsor here on the rc fuels)I have spoken with him a few times , nice guy but a secretive on his formula's.

Do you guys think it would be fine to run this fuel in the o.s. engine or should i increase my total oil content to 18% by adding the appropriate a amount of Bakers Castor(that's all I have)..

Thanks

1. A little Castor never hurt anything.

2. Ask for a MSDS, the law requires that the fuel contents be explained for safety purposes in the MSDS for possible treatment and remediation. That is an OSHA requirement, it is the law. The fellow can be severly fined if he is selling this stuff and does no have an MSDS registered. If he is giving it away, well that's another matter.

Good luck,

Chip

The MSDS will not necessarily give the exact percentages of a formulation. Everything that is required to be listed can be in a range such as Nitro:5-85%, Methanol: 10-90%, etc...
....and if he has a trade secret in there it has to be listed if it is in percentages greater than 1%, but the exact chemical compound does not need disclosed, just the properties, health, fire, disposal and transport measures.
