Airplane fuel anyone use it?

[Rob D]

was doing some more reading on web yes i have way to much time on hands since i got layed off .. and i see some people are using airplane fuel

Of course its cheeper but is it as good i see a lot of 20% is 20% is 20%...then a lot of there different if you can get a gallon of say XXX plane fuel at 20% nitro and 18%or 20% oil for 9.99

and say trinity monster fuel 20% with 12% oil (havent found it with higher oil local ) and add klotz to kick it up to 20% oil figure

22.00 for trinity and 19 for a big ole bottle of klotz

What is the difference between the 2?

All this comes up as 1 I'm out of nitro 2 no one hard any this am sold out yesterday they said course it was 55 here so i can see why everyone was out running

Sorry so long winded

I've seen it... a .15 with I think it was 40% I dunno it was yellow tho... The engine actually liked it... Most powerful .15 I ever seen. Though after talking to the guy, he said his engines last maybe 3 races. That's only about 2 hours of life... I was to stupid to remeber to ask what fuel. I did see on the bottle where it said "For R/C Airplanes or Boats only, do not use in cars or helicopters" It was a clear bottle with white writing. And it was in his.. Suitcase... I think he was too cheap to buy a pit bag.

I'm not sure, I've never tried it, but unless youve got an engine that you dont care about blowing, i dont think you should. the bottles of car gas say "not for use in boats or planes" and the boat/plane gas says "not for use in cars". those lables must be there for a reason.

but hey! you never know! you might get crazy horsepower or something.

check the amounts each ingrediant in it. if its acceptable for your engine its fine.
