well from what i found out 20% is whats recomended for your truck, i am asumeing you can use it but i am not sure of the out come worse thing is you blow a part, but like everything else,its replacible " try it" lets us know? bit of advice you cant learn anything if you dont try."

p.s i once straped a m-1000 rocket to my r/c plane, just to see if it would go any faster lol
the outcome-- well it went faster alright and then shot stright up in to the sky, then i heard a LOUD BANG,
i was looking around for my plane and i swear to you it came back down in about 12 lil pices lol,

so the moral of the story Dont use m-1000 rokets on anything other then a pcp pipe lol

as i said, you dont learn anything with out trying.

You would probably mess up the blend of the fuel (like the amount of oil and stuff). I'd suggest either burning it in a coffee can in your backyard, or, if you are not too worried about the engine, run it.

At 18% oil, i would say no. Don't use it. It will just "gunk" things up, and run very rich.

i would say ABSOLUTLY NOT do not mix fuels...Y would u ......if its that old and has been in ur closet... its prolly no good nemore.

Hi

What type is it. Is it the 15% sport fuel or the 15% premium fuel. If it is the 15% premium fuel then that is what I have been running in my Savage for the past year, and it runs great. The sport fuel on the other hand is not all that good. How long have you had it, and has it been opened.

amitbob21

i have the premium 15% and its been unopened in my closet for about 3 months

oooh ok its new....i thought that this was a gallon that ur freind had for a while then gave to u to use....
unless u are using that fuel already i wouldnt suggest it ....unless u are switching to that fuel for future running....
