How to tell bad nitro??

[RSX420]

Hi, I've been using nitro for a while, and don't know if there is any 1 good way to tell if you nitro is no longer good or "stale"... Any help would be great... Thanks!

depending on what brand you use. O'donnells turns yellow and if it is really bad almost black. another way to tell with pretty much any brand is the smell. When good it usually smells bad but when it goes stale it really stinks bad. But the easiest way to tell is if your ride doesn't want to run right dump the fuel in it and put fresh in.

lol, thanks for the help! I kinda figured those basics, besides the o'donnells part.. I use Maxy's 20% currently, just wondering if there was a more precise way.... thanks again though! Mine is usually pinkinsh and its a little less colorfull, kinda yellowish, going to get more now!!

If the fuel is more than 6 months old or has been sitting for a long time half empty, it's probably bad or not far from it. Get some fresh fuel and retune your carb.
