Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / November 2006leftover nitro ?
I have a gal of 20% Nitro from last winter... Have not run my car since then. Can I toss the Nitro into the normal car gas tank ? or the lawnmower ? It's sad to see a $20/gal of Nitro just sitting there :( >I have a gal of 20% Nitro from last winter... > Have not run my car since then. > Can I toss the Nitro into the normal car gas tank ? > or the lawnmower ? > It's sad to see a $20/gal of Nitro just sitting there :( Stick it in your nitro and run it?

Yeeeeeeeee hawwwwwwwww! > I have a gal of 20% Nitro from last winter... > Have not run my car since then. > Can I toss the Nitro into the normal car gas tank ? > or the lawnmower ? > It's sad to see a $20/gal of Nitro just sitting there :( Run it.. if kept out of the sun it should be ok. Doesn't hurt to try. I have a gallon of Trinity 20% MHP that I didn't use anymore since I switched to Traxxas fuel (which holds a tune MUCH better). So I'm using that gallon as bonfire starter. Works great and the nice blue flame and scent always gets "ooos" and "ahhhhs" when we have friends over. And doesn't take much to get a good fire going. But you smell it for hours. :) My bud put quite a bit in an old riding lawn mower mixed with regular gas... It ran pretty good for awhile... Then... we ended up throwing dirt all over the motor to put out the fire after the spark plug almost completely melted! Mower never ran again! > I have a gal of 20% Nitro from last winter... > Have not run my car since then. > Can I toss the Nitro into the normal car gas tank ? > or the lawnmower ? > It's sad to see a $20/gal of Nitro just sitting there :( > My bud put quite a bit in an old riding lawn mower mixed with regular gas... > It ran pretty good for awhile... > Then... we ended up throwing dirt all over the motor to put out the fire > after the spark plug almost completely melted! > Mower never ran again! We made a 8HP Techumsa run with it when I was a kid, had to fatten it way up though. Can't remember exactly what we did (This was over 20 years ago), but I remember there were carb modifications to get it to fatten up more. We were doing this as an extension of the success of out last project, which was mounting a 5HP Horizonal shaft engune onto a bicycle, which worked awesome, but the block got ruined in a rather spectacular crash. The best part was that we didn't have anywhere to mount the fuel tank, so the rider work a backback with the fuel cell in it. What fun. . .. > The best part was that we didn't have anywhere to mount the fuel tank, > so the rider work a backback with the fuel cell in it. What fun. . .. Oh dear lord................... Doc A lot of folks refer to these as 'the good ole days' I'm one of them... that's scary!
