i made this for a quick??? i dont know where else to post this ?? so i made a quickey
is it a good idea to put fuel in the refrigerator keep it cool?? its get hot in my screen room and its in a cobord but it dose get hot in there 2 so would putting the fuel in a fridge be a good idea or a waist of room were the lemonade could go?
thanks sory for making this forum i like helping people on forums not making them to help me, i feel bad makeing forums[]

I dont know dude. Afterall, it is TOXIC.

ya well no one is going to drink nitro well once i did priming but i spit it all out[:'(] it tasted wired

Not just that dude, but the fumes. It'd be like turning your car on with the garage door closed.

dosnt the cap keep that out?

you never know... I know one thing for sure, its not a chance i'm willing to take.

ok ya i see what u mean i wont do it BUT when u go to the track u know those little coolers if u put a ice pack in there and your fuel its going to work well for when your at the track

Uh oh [&:]

I would try and find a place other than the fridge to store it in. If anything you could get those cubes that stay cold for days, then just stick em in a cooler with your fuel.

i keep mine inside the house where it stays about 78 degrees...the cap is on tight and keeps the fumes in the bottle

On the Other side of things, if a Fuel bottle is left out in the Sun for to long could it possibly explode? I always find myself VERY consious of where I leave my fuel bottle when bashing. I try to leave them in the shade. DO you think they could explode? I know they gain pressure like a pop would.. I have had them expand before...

I dont think it would explode, if left in the sun the nitro methane will evaporate.

were would it go not out the cap cause those things are airtight so were would it go i have probs opening the bottle cause the presser is pushing the treads togeather and makes it hard to get off and i always get that pop sound when i open it every couple weeks

I personally wouldn't keep it in the fridge, I wouldn't trust the cheap cap and bottle to save my life.. just me... and wouldn't the coolness cause it to condensate? hmmm.. just a thought there..

I keep mine in the corner of my closet, best place that I can figure that is cool and dry.. I try to control the temp/humidity in that closet due to it's contents..

The bottle may burst if left in an extremely hot environment. Trust me.

A few weeks ago I had just got done with the most thorough cleaning I had ever done on my xterra. I actually removed the seats and the molded carpeting to clean the entire interior to make it like new. It was the cleanest it had been since I drove it off of the lot 5 years ago...

So the next day I throw my trucks and fuel and everything in the back so I can bash after work. I keep my small amounts of traveling nitro with me in traxxas tope-fuel quarts so I don't have to carry whole gallons around (top fuel quarts leftover from when I was new to nitro and still willing to pay for traxxas fuel). When I went out to my car after work I found everything in the rear of my car sprayed with drops of nitro. Here the quart heated up enough and pressure built up and it blew the plastic top right off of the bottle, not just the screw on cap, but the entire plastic part of the bottle where it comes out of the metal part of the quart container. Needless to say I was pissed, not just because of the mess, but because I know how nitro can dissolve synthetic fibers. Anyone whose ever bought an RC car bag made by trinity probably already know all about how nitro dissolves certain synthetic fibers. My almost new trinity maxx hauler bag is falling to pieces in every spot where I've ever spilled any nitro. My car on a hot day is surely hotter than the temps you will see on your sunporch, but hey who knows. Since then, I've found that the problem is no longer an issue as long as I leave the quart containers at most only 3/4 full when they are going to be in my car. That allows the gasses to expand without building up too much pressure.

The same could happen to gallons of fuel left in the sun if they are extremely full. They could build up pressure and blow the hard plastic screw on top off. It's easy enough to avoid this by squeezing excess air from your fuel jugs before you screw the top on, it allows for a bit more expansion without catastrophic results
