Nitro Benzene is available in my country, and you can find it easily and its pretty cheap, I mixed a gallon of fuel like 4 years ago (but i think it was older) and I mixed with nitro benzene on it, at 15% or so, and last week I decided to use it on my Magnum 46 and it ran outstanding on this fuel, even if it was all that long. But the thing is that i stored the fuel because of the carcinogenus thing about it, and I didn't want to have any problems with it, but I didn't wanted to throw it away just like that, and then I decided to burn it. I have read also that maybe all of the components used for making fuel (nitromethane and methanol) can be poisonus and carcinogen, but it depends also in the way that is used etc... would be nitro benzene so much more harmfull than the others?? Guys at the field screamed when I opened my jug of fuel (specially the experienced ones, that it remmembered COX engines in their childhood, I'm not so experienced becouse I'm 21, but Had a cox once too) but then they didn't said anything more when they saw my plane flying... it become a screamer!!..... The thing is that here in my country, it cost for about 5 dollars a gallon of methanol, 3 dollars a liter of castor oil, it means that I can mix about 5 liters of FAI fuel (1 gallon and a quart) with only 8 dollars (very cheap for me), and maybe a pint of nitro benzene could cost about 2 dollars or something, but if I'm going to buy a gallon of 5% nitro fuel, it would cost me 20 dollars... does it make sense mixing with nitro benzene fuel....but not sure about its safety...any thoughts?
