Delboy0005 Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 I’ve got this car off eBay today. The blokes not convinced using 25% nitro is the right fuel mix for this vehicle. Can someone please tell me what nitro fuel should be used? thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Looks like a smallblock nitro motor. You can use 25% on it... but it doesn't need it. It will run just fine on lower nitro %. Also worth looking at the oil % in your chosen fuel as much as the nitro. The bulk of the fuel is made up of methanol, so too much oil leads to a smoky under-performing engine. But, it's more tolerant of a poor tune. By tolerant..I mean won't lean sieze and destroy itself. That motor would probably run just fine on 16% or 20%. I did find, though, that some motors run cooler on higher nitro contents. If you have 25%...try it. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 We used to run our small block/big block engines on 20 or 25% nitro content with no issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
