I use byron's 15% nitro 18% oil in my savage x 4.6 big block. The fuel is originally for planes, boats and helicopters. I used to run Byron's 20% nitro on my tmaxx .15 and 3.3 engine, then I asked LHS if 15% will run the engine. They said yes, and it will even prolong the engine life because it had more oil than nitro fuel. So I did my own research and found out that traxxas indeed recommends fuel from 10%-33%. So I bought 2 gallons of the 15% nitro, and used it initially on the tmaxx .15 and it worked. So I went ahead to the 3.3 engine and it also worked. But don't expect it to perform like the 20%. And you also need to re-tune it a little to adjust to the new fuel. I am also currently using this on my savage x 4.6 big block. I am not a racer, just an ordinary basher, and it serves my purpose. But if you use 30% nitro, I don't recommend you to downgrade your fuel to 15%. Mainly because your engine may have already adjusted to 30% and downgrading may cause engine problems. Hope that helps. Happy bashing!

If that is what he is asking then yes, plane fuel will work in a car but not with any real performance. I was not happy when I tried it. I ran slower and hotter than with ground fuel. The 18% oil is way too much for a vehicle engine IMO. The faster running engine gets extra stress put on it by the boat ton of oil and it is also messy. That is just me though but I think a lot will back me up on this. Yes it will work just not very well. Also dude if you want help please give us the common courtesy of putting together a proper sentence that actually conveys a complete though. This crap is a headache to try and read.
