Grune Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Whats the recomended fuel for a savage 25? Modelsport recomends performance 16. But the manual says use 20% nitro fuel. And i have been told on other forums that i should be using 20%. Also is it possible to switch fuels from 16 to 20 after run in? The reson being i bought 2 gallons of the stuff.

dazzi220 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 25% tornado in my sav 21 -sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grune Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Thanks guys. if i switch do i need to mix the new fuel with the 16? or just start a new tank with it and go easy like brake in?, or start a new tank and thats that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 don't mix! just fill it up with the new fuel and take it easy on the first tank,u may have to adjust your setting a bit get 25% tornado,it'll go like a rocket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinb456 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 yeah i say 25% aswell. run whatever 16% you have, then just switch to 25%. run a few tanks taking it easy rich, you will also need to re-tune a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
300ZXZ31 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 mixing the fuel doesnt really matter because i ran on about a gallon of 16 and 10% all mixed up and it was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanluke Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 what percentage would come out of it though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grune Posted April 11, 2005 Author Share Posted April 11, 2005 Well im half way though the engine run in and as i said i have 2 gallons of 16. But when its gone i'll try the Tornado 25. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samari Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 If you increase the % of nitro it is best to let it idle on one tank of the new fuel, this gets the engine used to the higher temps and increased combustion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
