Smoke in the fuel tank

[revo_rob_1984]

when i was last running my revo with the picco .26 on it as i was refueling it while it was running i had quite a bit of smoke or steam coming from the fuel tank, i was wondering if this is a bad thing, good thing, or just a normal occurrence. I'm not gonna say it was a lot of smoke/ steam but i'm not gonna say it was a little bit, kind of an in between. Any info on this would be very helpful and informative. thank you in advance:\

Always remember, that the pressure regulator is actually comming from the exhaust, so it seems like it would be normal. I remember my Losi was always like this.

Nothing to worry about, this vapor is totaly normal.

Yup it is normal. Smoke comes from the pipe...presure hose for the tank come from the pipe. All good man. Now if flames come from the tank...that that would probably be bad.

Alpine, slight problem with that, nitro fuel is almost flameless.

But yes r/r 1984, exhaust smoke in the tanks is normal, it also shows you are getting the pressure from your exhaust pressure line aswell.

from what i heard if it burns almost clear the fuel is still good but if it burns kind of yellowish its not good, but it burns:flamer::flamer::flamer::flamer::flamer:

You ever see open wheel racing? The fuel they use (at least USED to use in the good old days) burned with no visible flame. I wonder if they still use that type...

I didnt know it was on fire until i felt hair dissapearing and skin melting.....

Ya know Alpine that is just going to happen every once while....the scorching pain should have been you first clue though.... But wait...he is a machine he feels no pain!

I burned some at night and it was Pretty much White but almost clear. In the daytime would not have been able to see it.
