Default Which fuel for....

I have been told that different engines take different makes of fuel but I thought that any 10% nitro 18%+ lubricant fuel worked. If you need different fuels for different engines could you tell me what fuel this car takes.

Default RE: Which fuel for....

From that same page:

REQUIRES: Fuel: 2-cycle glow fuel with 10%-15% nitromethane, 16% lubricant-
Most of the fuels we carry meet or exceed the lubricant content
required for optimum performance and maximum engine life. In the
past, the conventional lubricant content used in fuel was 18%. But
with new advanced technologies, fuels like Red Alert and O'Donnell
for example, have a better quality of lubricants even though the
percentages of lubricant content are lower. These high-tech
lubricants provide exceptional cooling and protection.
Your 10% nitro 18% lube should work.
