Default cars fuel



Hello,
I have a Nitro car and I want to know how to make a fuel.
I need gas of 20%.
Now what materials I need just for her to make the fuel?
How to mix? How to mix and how do I measure?
I came with no prior knowledge on the subject.
Hope for help.

Why can't you buy commercial fuel? The ingredients need to be mixed carefully, accurately, and cleanly for the fuel to be reliable. Smaller quantities of some of the ingredients may be cost-prohibitive. It's not really a project for a home shop.

It intrigues me to try to prepare myself and the price is only a secondary cause.
 
I heard that there are those who are preparing alone.
By the way, buy a gallon in Israel cost more than $ 40

Use the word "buy" in your web search, buy nitromethane.

I don't know how available nitro is in Israel but using just methanol and oil works very well in car engines.

I cannot understand why this would be any more difficult than mixing model airplane fuel, which is very easy. Just use less oil!
