.....Nail....Head....right on the.....
..something like that i think....HAh...nah man u got 1 100%...the exhaust pressurizing and depressurizing is forcing "dirty" air into the tank...turnin that fuel bad.....think what u want madmax22...we all know ur gonna do it ur way or the highway.
....but the dirt...I gues if hes bleeding it through the filter that would mean no dirt...but still the fuel is junk....and whats the point in saving like 1/2 -1/4 a tank....thats like what 1.00$ worth of fuel...

RE: Some information?
Its not like leaving the cap off of the fuel bottle. The tank is sealed from DIRECT AIR and it wont hurt to sit for a week in the tank. I have been in nitro rc for over 15yrs and have never had a problem with leaving some fuel in the tank for a week. Its NOT going to hurt. You guys act like its going to blow up the engine or something. If anything it wont start at all because of the loss of nitro. I run my trucks at least every weekend if not every other and more times than not I will have fuel left over in the tank. Then when that happens I just top it off the next week.
The question was will it hurt anything to leave some fuel in the tank for a few days and the answer is NO!!!

RE: Some information?
Did I say it was air tight? I dont think I did. I said its sealed from DIRECT air (open cap) . The exhaust line is not sufficient enough to let in alot of air unlike the cap being off. I get your point about putting used fuel back into the bottle but I dont think enough nitro will evaporate through the exhaust tube to cause it not to run right but in no way will it hurt the truck. That was the question.

RE: Some information?
lol speaking of fuel caps that were off. I forgot to put the cap back on my gallon of fuel when I had a run yesterday [X(] Oh no! The fuel is garbage, absolute garbage!! [&:]
Ok lets agree with integra, fuel goes bad instantly, and fuel sitting in a gas tank is bad.

RE: Some information?
newtdrifting,
The absolute best truggy for the money is the thunder tiger st1. Great out of the box and ready to race with some adjustments. Its built like a tank and the engine will last a very long time. Ask anyone with the ttr st1 and they will tell you 100% awsome truggy. A MAin has them on sale and I posted some codes to get it in your price range. You wont find a better truck anywhere for the price period!!!!

Oh wait I remember you. Your that guy who does professional carbon fiber work. I saw your savage and that LST chassis you did for Dawgbone on LSTforums.
Dude I am just kidding, just from my experience I have never had a issue with leaving fuel in my tank. That's all, I am sure there is some loss of chemicals since it can evaporate to some degree.

RE: Some information?
Well lets see how long you can breath through a sewer line then through a fuel line. Small line=less air=less evaporation. Large line=more air=more evaporation.

RE: Some information?
I thought that leaving fuel in the tank attracts moisture and stuff happens.
The other day I left like about half a tank in , didnt run it for 3 days (damn weather), and my glow plug got all weird, wont fire up straight and has rust spots all over.
I replaced the glow plug and everythings fine...

AE does race the ST-1 as there pro race truggy...... I can run laps over 8ight-t's at the track. All I did was use the suspension tuning pieces and adjust the turnbuckles. It has a lot more to do with the driver's physic's knowledge.
