RE: Car fuel for a boat?

Just because, here's the photo I was searching for. The fuel is Odonnells Race 30% nitro car fuel and the oil is Klotz Benol.

RE: Car fuel for a boat?

To add enough oil to get the total content up to at least 18% is going to drop your nitro content by 5-10% roughly. If you haven't opened it, I'd return it and buy the right fuel. 12oz extra oil...

RE: Car fuel for a boat?

Boat engines should run 18-20% total oil generally. If the engine only spent 2-3 seconds at WOT you could get away with 12-14% oil. Look at the oil content of most boat fuel and compare it to car...
