Default RE: Don't Try This

i was going to mention water absorbtion un itl i read the last post but ill mention it anyway

as most know methanol in nitro fuel is hydroscopic - meaning that it will absorb water/moisture from the air, and this obviously not good for the engines bearings etc.

oh this water in engines thing reminds we of sumthing off topic but it has slight relvanc eto planes - in WWII the germans were running up to 50% water and 50% fuel in their planes for more performance. The water would boil in combustion and expand causing more pressure. but of course the engines were wornout easy, but hey it was war! this is also why your car might have a bit more "oomf" when you drive in the fog - added water content to the combustion....

well that was completly irrelivant but i couldnt help
