Default Mixing fuel?

I have recently put new motors in all my RC cars and they are now all running on 20% nitro/12% lubricant Sidewinder fuel. One of the old motors was tuned to run on 30% nitro. I still have 1/4 of a 30% gallon remaining, and instead of wasting it, I was wondering if it would be possible to mix a bit of it in with the 20% fuel I run now in order to make use of it. It is the same brand of fuel and has the same lubricant percentage (12%). Will this cause problems or will I be able to pull it off?

Thanks.

It won't hurt a thing. You probably won't even have to readjust the needle valve.

as long as the other fuel is also sidewinder fuel it probably wouldn't do anything. If it isn't then don't do it. Running diffent qualitys of lubes can cuase gelling. Do it if it make ya froggy. I'd never ever recommend it. And I sure as hell wouldn't do it with my own stuff. There is just too much money involved to risk it over a couple bucks worth of fuel
