or used airplane model fuel instead of rc car nitro. theres a big difference.
No there is no major difference between rc plane fuel and rc car fuel. Glow fuel is all the same. Car fuel generally has a higher nitro content and the blends are slightly different but not by much. I have never ran my plane fuel in my car but it would work. The one thing I hate about car fuel is that they charge you twice the amount for it over airplane fuel.
Dude your telling me it was $10 for A quart of 20% here and A gallon is $24 I saw plane fuel right beside it and it was only $13.99 for A gallon!!! But if it doesnt have the right amount of nitro in it would it not then cause our engines to run crappy since there's not enough?I know the plane fuel has A lot more oil in it thats why planes smoke so dang bad but would it really be ok to put it in our motors?,,, you got me wantin to try it now!
Let me get myine runnin first lol
Yes plane fuel is safe to run in your car. Most "plane fuel" is usually 10-15% nitro content and the oil content is high. Compared to car fuel which is 20-30% average. They do make 10% car fuel but its not as common. Even with car fuel they charge a few more bucks for 30% nitro fuel over 20% but its nothing major. Plane fuel also has a lot more oil than car fuel (which is why I dont run it in my car) but it would still run and work fine. I ran Trinity fuel which is 8% oil content and I wouldnt run anything more than 12% oil. I know that Byrons plane fuel was about 18% oil if not a little more.
