      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.
