I'm guessing by the amounts of oil you mentioned that you want a 15% oil content. In a litre of fuel that would be 150cc of oil but if you poured 150cc of oil into a litre of methanol then the total volume of fuel would then be 1150cc which would be 13% total oil. If you added 150cc of oil to 850cc of methanol then you'd have that 15% oil in the fuel.

Oh, my mistake. I ment for one liter of petrol 15% oil, I will gonna be running without nitro. Cant get it anywhere. ]

Could some one tell me the chemical formula for nitro , not the fuel, but the component itself?

Thanks.
