Default RE: Does nitro fuel evaporate ?

BTW, guys, when nitromethane burns one of it's products is nitric acid. When methanol burnse, a couple of it's products are formic acid and carbonic acid.

One of the reasons for using afterrun fluid is to displace the remaining unburned fuel. It's also good at dealing with the residues from the burned fuel: the nitric, formic, and carbonic acids.
