Status: online 		I have had this question in the R/C Fuel section for a while and can't get an answer. I have also sent a fax twice to Morgan Fuels and they are either shut down or too arrogant to answer me.

For 2 years now I have been using Cool Power Pro Pattern 20% fuel. I was under the impression that this was 20% nitro & 20% oil. Now on their website it is listed as 15% nitro & 20% oil. Heck their 30% & 40% Pro Pattern is also listed as 15% nitro & 20% oil. Why call it 30% or 40% if it doesn't include 30% or 40% of anything ? Does anyone have an answer ?

The universally accepted definition of FAI oil content is 20% oil. How is it possible to then describe FAI fuel as 17% oil?

It is 20% castor oil. No synthetic.

CoolPower, being all synthetic, cannot be accepted as FAI fuel.

Status: offline 		Well Don according to a RCU member that lives just down the street from the Morgan factory says they have strange and whacky hours so I would guess the web site would get the same attention. I noticed the greatest oil of the century MV has got bumped up to 18% total oil. Find a different fuel and make sure they list %'s and now you can sleep at night.

Unfortunately in my area 85% use Omega 14% use Cool Power so the Hobby shops only sell Morgan but I'll see what I can do.

If you have Hobbytown in The great white north (Canada) for you guys in Rio Linda (Rush L.) Their private label fuel is WILDCAT..............
