simple, leave the fuel out on a hot day for a little bit, the methanol will evaporate and you will have nitro and oil. If you want lots of nitro, get boat fuel, I know it will have the oil in there but that is the easiest and safest way to do it

Yeah but if you do this you should be worried about spontanious combustion.

no, my neighbor blowed out the old fuel from his engine on to his driveway and fired up a minute or two later, no spontanious combustion[8D]
