Substitute of Nitro-methane: Nitro Benzene
Bill,
I have been running O.S. 2-stroke engines from last 15 years with Homemade fuel 20 % pure caster Oil and 80 % methnol. I never ever had any problems with the new engines that I broke-in by myself.
Having strictly a 2-stroke person and no experiance of 4-strokes my question is this
Is necessary to use Nitro-based fuel for O.S. 4- stroke enignes for proper running like FS 90 and 120?
Since Nitro-methane is not available in my country at an affordable rate so is there any substitute for it and what do you say about Nitro benzene?
How would a 4-stroke run on pure Caster oil / Methnol based fuel?
Thanks

RE: Substitute of Nitro-methane: Nitro Benzene
We're not that familiar with nitro-benzene, other than it's not good for you. Check in the fuels section, I think it's been discussed before.
Actually, though, you really don't need nitromethane at all. 20% oil and 80% methanol will work nicely. Use an O.S. Type F plug, and the engine will be fine. You'll sacrifice a small amount of top-end power, and a few hundred RPM at idle, but the engines have been well-proven on no-nitro fuels.
