RE: do fuel scents harm your engine
That is a waste of shipping and handling. Why do you want grape smelling fuel (or any smell for that matter)? I like the smell of nitro and you would probably have to re-tune your motor, its not worth it.

I don't think it would, but just make sure you squirt some wd-40 or marvel mystery oil (it's the exact same thing as after run oil-available at a hardware store) in your enigne after to make sure it doesn't make your engine gummy

The bubble gum smell is strong when you open the bottle. I bought some a while back (like 2 or 3 years back) and opened it but never used it. I dont even know why I bought it to tell you the truth. But I dont think it will mess your engine up but you may have to do a little re-tuning to your engine.
Also rcdude-- Marvel mystery oil and ARO is the same thing but WD-40 is not the same as Aro is marvel is, infact if you can stay away from WD-40 as a ARO as it can cause your o-rings to break down and cause air leaks at the carb and back plate.

RE: do fuel scents harm your engine
The use of 'scents' was started in drag racing years ago. Some people get 'up-set stomachs' smelling burned menthanol. In 1:1 cars, there has been no tuning or loss of performance issues. As far as our 'glow engines' are concerned, I don't think there is a problem using it. Later, Bob
