I got some odonnel's in early march and used bout half of itfrom there till probablylateapril early may. I got my car ready to run and i was lookin at the gas and it got a tint to it otherwise its somewhat darker than before which is wat happens when air gets to it . so i was wondering, is it ok to run it with the "tint" or has it sat to long and the fuel is gettin bad.

As long as it was closed and in a cool place it will be fine.

ok well it was. thank you

You have to be careful though, usually when you get a gallon jug it has a plastic seal that is seperate from the lid. The bottle will leak if you only put the lid on without the seal. If there is an air leak the nitro methane will evaporate and you will have pure castor oil.

Nitro actually absorbs moisture out of the air and so overtime you may find that the nitro will go bad. Dont worry about the colour changing. The colour is just food dye and the colour breaks down overtime. Just try to keep it airtight and out of heat or sun.

Mozzy, this is true, but it is the ethyl "alcohol" not the nitromethane in the fuel that does this....


later

yes true! it is the methanol that is hydroscopic. I used the term "nitro" as in the fuel as a whole thats all.
