Hey guys!

When I bought my second hand Savage, it came with two different bottles of fuel. One open, one closed. Natch, I used the open fuel first, but now it's about to run out.

So on closer inspection, the fuel I'm currently using is 25%. The other gallon of fuel I've got is 20%. Can I just swap to the other fuel? Does it matter? Is there anything else I should be looking out for? They are different brands...

your tune will be a little different, i think the 20 should be a little more lean than the 25 but I'm not positive about that one.
but it will run, youll have a little less torque
 
you'll be alright in dropping nitro % content with no worries. Just be sure to keep a check on your temps as the tuning will change.

If you were to go up in nitro content, you would then need to run a tank through kind of easy, like a break-in tank. But your going down, so no worries

I'm glad that gallon of 20% won't go to waste then! I've been running the beast slightly rich anyway I think, so a full re tune is on the cards!

Thanks again chaps.
