Hey guys first of all let me start by saying hi to all, as i am new here. But know i was wondering what to do since i bought a gallon of 10% nitro fuel instead of 20% will it harm my engine if i use that. i can't return it since i already opened it. thanks in advance.
 
If you are doing a break in, it's fine. If you have already done it, you need to do a 'partial' break in and re-tweaking till the engine gets used to the temp difference. By 'partial' break-in I mean drive it around without pushing it WOT for 2 to 3 tanks, adjusting the carb slightly for each tank, then tuning for performance on the 4th. When you get 20% again, you need to do the same thing.
 
No it will not hurt it, you will not get much performace from it as you would 20%
 
go 30% and watch it go boom!!!!!

speaking of fuel has anyone heard of 60% maxy's fuel....I met a guy at the LHS over the weekend said he shimmed his OFNA 8 port and runs 60%.......sounds kinda hokey but I give most people the benefit of the doubt before I call bullsheet....
