Frequent Questions & Answers
What is nitro fuel?

Nitro fuel is a blend of methanol, nitromethane and lubricating oil that powers glow engines. The nitro percentage sets how much power it makes.

Which nitro percentage should I use?

Match your engine maker’s recommendation. Higher nitro gives more power and heat, but running more than your engine is tuned for can shorten its life.

How should I store nitro fuel?

Keep it sealed, cool and out of sunlight. Air and moisture spoil fuel over time, so close the bottle straight after use.

Can I mix different nitro percentages?

It is better not to once your engine is tuned, since changing the blend changes the tune. Stick to one percentage for consistent running.
