Default RE: Nitro/oil content


ORIGINAL: yakfish

I am in the research stage right now considering making my own home brew nitro fuel. I would like to hear some veiws and opinions about nitro and oil content. what are the pros and cons to higher/lower nitro %. I have always run 20% O'Donnel race blend in my cars since that is what my hobby shop carries and it has never given me a problems but I would like to know if I should change the blend once I start making my own fuel. I have seen people running car fuel with a little as 12% nitro and as high as 40%. Any imput will be appreciated.
Thanks

If you are racing use as much nitro as allowed. If not, use as much as you enjoy.
