Default Nitro replacement for 2 stoke fuel

Nasty stuff. Highly toxic with long term effects like liver disease. Also a low PH of around 4. Thats a fairly strong acid. Nitro is around 6.4 or 6.5, a mild acid milder than vinegar or lemon juice. In fact nitro is not much stronger than castor oil which is also slightly acidic. Don't know how well it burns, but I wouldn't want to handle this stuff. IMO if there was a higher performance fuel than nitro, the unlimited fuel racers would be using it by now.
