OK fuel guru's....here is a tuff one
then again maybe not...........
fuel in my stock is Sig all castor fuel. 25% oil, and 10% nitro content. need to bring it up to 25% by aqdding Nitro, but i'm not sure what the amount to add would be? why fool with it and not simply buy more you might say.........i have 4 gallons of this and don't want to toss it if i can make it work. |

Question: Do you want to keep the oil percentage at 25 percent?
|
RE: OK fuel guru's....here is a tuff one
Solve your problem in ounces.
There are 128 ounces in a gallon. So you've got 32 ounces of oil at 25 percent oil. Your 10% nitro fuel should have 12.8 ounces of nitro per gallon (call it 13 ounces). Apparently you want to raise the nitro percentage to 25%. So in your final mix you want to have 32 ounces of nitro per gallon. Seems to me that 10% should be OK for whatever you're doing....except for racing. |
RE: OK fuel guru's....here is a tuff one
i would like to keep the oil percentage at no less than 20%.
the fuel was originally bought for use in a couple older RC engines that were designed to be run on castor oil fuels with minimum 25% oil. the conrods are non bushed and would die with synthetic oiled fuels. the engine i want to run this fuel in now is the K&B 40RR from the late 60's which also have non bushed conrods. |

Pour 12 ounces of nitro into 88 ounces of your original fuel = 100 ounces of new mix at 25% nitro and 22% oil

RE: OK fuel guru's....here is a tuff one
what needs to be brought up to 25% Oil or Nitro?
you have 4 gallons of what? fuel or oil or niro. is your current fuel 25% Oil +10% Nitro + 65% Methanol = 4Gallons ? (is this the problem statement) |

ORIGINAL: hauckf ORIGINAL: JCINTEXAS Pour 12 ounces of nitro into 88 ounces of your original fuel = 100 ounces of new mix at 25% nitro and 22% oil thx for the formula. appreciate that you understand what i am using and trying to modify.............i'll juice up a quart first and if that works then i'm set. worst case scenario- BUY NEW FUEL:D and give the 10% stuff away...... thx -mike |
