Default RE: castor oil in my fuel question

i am using trinity fuel in my xl
i want some castor oil running through my engine

the bottle says 12 percent oil synthetic racing castor blend.

whats that supposed to mean

my question is can i mix some real castor oil in it if needed and so how much

its 20 percent nitro
I used to run the same fuel. I believe the 12% oil trinity is an 80/20 blend - 80% synthetic / 20% castor. More than adequate. I run 20% nitro/12% castor homebrew in my rigs, and I've tried 14% castor also. No difference in power, not a large difference in how much oil spits out of the exhaust either.

If you want the instant throttle response most guys are used to, dont add any oil to 12% fuel unless you're a really good tuner. More oil is good for the engine but if you dont have it tuned right, it will run a tad bit cooler and spool up a little slower. If you want more castor than what comes in the fuel, look for car fuel thats only 8% oil (Race-only type fuels) and add enough oil to bring it up to 12%.
thanks

just what i wanted to know

i just wanted the coating effect of the castor oil

the fuel has been easy to tune btw
