Hello shane good day to you. Can i ask some procedure on how to mix nitromethane, methanol and castor oil? Please message me on my messenger account. Thank you in advance
Brilliant, I'm working on pricing my fuels to mix my own, very informative video, thankyou,if I get stuck while making my own I can revert back to your videos, awesome bro ✌️🏴
Hi, in France and in all Europe we can find until one year only 16% fuel, m'y last bottles of 25% fuel will be over in a few months. I think for 25% fuel, i need to mix 25% nitro, 12% oil and 63% methanol, is that correct ?
Years ago I wrote a software in visual basic that tells me exactly how to modify or "re-blend" existing commercial glow fuels into the final brew or mix that I want. The same software also allows me to make my own blend from scratch. Since doing the math for re-blending fuel is a little tricky (And I am honestly lazy to do it on a regular basis), I immortalized all that math into 1 computer program. Been using it all these years and I can share it with anyone who needs it. And since the program is part of a converter calculator, it will convert all volumes into the units one is most comfortable with. Here in the Philippines we do not have access to pure nitromethane, but we can buy high-nitro content car fuel which in most cases, is too much nitro for my specific use (planes and helis), thus I resort to "re-brewing". If I have to make glow fuel from scratch it would just be what we call "FAI Fuel" (No Nitro). But if I re-brew, I would buy 40/9 Car Fuel (40% Nitro, 9% Oil) and convert it to 15/20 fuel (15% Nitro, 20% Oil). If I start with 4 liters of 40/9, by adding 1.773 liters of oil and 4.893 liters of methanol I would end up with 10.666 liters of 15/20 fuel. This is the kind of calculations the software makes for me.
This excellent video is still around🙂👏🙌. How would the formula be affected if one wanted to add some sort of rust inhibitor/pigments into the fuel? How would that math work out? And what about fuel coloring? Would that affect the overall fuel mixture formula at all?
Koltz BeNOL castor 2 stroke oil says on the bottle it blends with methanol fuel, in fact I think I remember reading it was made with Nitro/Glo engines in mind. Maxima 927 is also supposd to mix with methanol, I use it for all my 2 stroke engines, haven't tried it with methanol yet though.
You are right on the up front price,but one gallon of fuel and it's payed for it self.I plan on making a video soon of me making it so everyone can see how easy it really is.
Question: What if I want to make 15% nitro? Is it: .15*128 = 19.2oz of nitro .12 x 128 = 15.36oz of castor oil The balance is Methanol? (100% - 15% nitro - 12% oil = 73%) .73 x 128 = 93.44oz of Methanol
Is that right? (19.2+15.36+93.44 = 128oz) I want to blend fuel for airplanes (not cars), any suggestions? Thanks
Hi Shane,I am just start this hobby,Please show me how to make 30% Nitro fuel for Heli?how much oil need for one Gallon,I am been told RC car running different Rc heli,Thank Lee
I do and it id working great but instead of using 12% of castor oil I use 10% of synthetic oil from modeltehnic and 2% of castor oil because I have an old engine on my hpi savage xl
It is expensive to purchase the ingredients in bulk, but, once you finish your mix (on the assumption you made your mix accurately), you will saving a lot of money for your RC fuel.
Really cool info. Just wondering if the Torco rc 100% nitro can be used in this blend. Or if its the same as the nitromethane you are using. Thanks. PS. Is it possible to get a picture of your ratio notes? thanks again
Shane, thanks for the insight into making your own nitro fuel. I really think you should manufacture your own brand and sell it cheaper than the big companies and you will do well my friend. Good luck. Thanks for sharing with us. Regards from Australia. I don't think I would source components for making my own fuel here, as I would get a visit from all terrorist watchdogs out there!!!! Lol.
a history note. in the 50s nitro was a by product as industrial by product. great for drag raceing. then latter the government made them stop making it. now nitro is the main product. equals HIGH COST . safety note do NOT i MEAN NOT mix with hydrozine. you end up with a class "A" explosive.
I can't hear the vid well, can you please explain in a comment what type of fuel does a size 60 OS engine need? It's in my race boat now, but the engine was once running in a Kavan Bell Jet Ranger. Thanks.
I have been making home brew for about a year and have had no issues with my engine.
Hello Shane. Is it okay if I ask you for the instructions. I have model boat with piston engines, from size 20, 40 to 60 OS. Thanks.

Modern glow fuel uses a castor/synthetic oil mix. What kind of synthetic is that, if you know? Thanks

I'd like your program. Can you put a Google Drive ( or similar ) link to it?
Can I get it
Interested in your software
Hi,Can I get it
Love the video man. Very real no bs.
This excellent video is still around🙂👏🙌. How would the formula be affected if one wanted to add some sort of rust inhibitor/pigments into the fuel? How would that math work out? And what about fuel coloring? Would that affect the overall fuel mixture formula at all?
What do you use to dye your fuel?
Good video buddy! Where did you get your fuel dye?
Big bro big respect for teaching this to us can I use my local vp 50/50 nitromethane
is the klotz castor oil good i want to use this on my 4by4 slash nitro
Koltz BeNOL castor 2 stroke oil says on the bottle it blends with methanol fuel, in fact I think I remember reading it was made with Nitro/Glo engines in mind. Maxima 927 is also supposd to mix with methanol, I use it for all my 2 stroke engines, haven't tried it with methanol yet though.
Great info. So can any hsn be used on .18 engine?
What do i use for coloring , that won't stain the inside of the fuel line. ??
can you make the mixture work with 50% nitromethane?
How about synthetic oil? Like the 4t?
Good video. I live in Houston as well.
Thank you so much for make my this video. I am getting into nitro cars and this will save me so much money.
Could you please tell me what dye do you use to colour your fuel?
What is the best nitro fuel in your opinion.
How long is the shelf life on the nitro and methanol. I live in Houston and want to start making my own too thank you for this video
You are right on the up front price,but one gallon of fuel and it's payed for it self.I plan on making a video soon of me making it so everyone can see how easy it really is.
Excellent explanation. I loved !
Thank you sir.
thanks for the great video packed with good info
Question: What if I want to make 15% nitro? Is it:
.15*128 = 19.2oz of nitro
.12 x 128 = 15.36oz of castor oil
The balance is Methanol?
(100% - 15% nitro - 12% oil = 73%)
.73 x 128 = 93.44oz of Methanol
Is that right? (19.2+15.36+93.44 = 128oz)
I want to blend fuel for airplanes (not cars), any suggestions?
Thanks
Your total should be 128oz
HI WHERE DO YOU BUY THE NITRO AND METHANOL?
Yes but I haven't ever mixed it or ran 50% in my Rc truck so not sure if it could cause damage.
would I have to double your 20% nitro formula of nitro if using 50% nitro concentration?
Lots of R/C nitro boat racing guys run 50-60% nitro..
I need to make some 60% drag fuel and don’t have a clue on how since I can’t buy it anymore. 60% nitro with 6% oil
You should add links on where to find the methanol/ nitro
Hi Shane,I am just start this hobby,Please show me how to make 30% Nitro fuel for Heli?how much oil need for one Gallon,I am been told RC car running different Rc heli,Thank Lee
you can use tea2 drops of tree and eucalyptus oil with 2troke oil to mix it with nitro methonol.
Can you do an english version in ml and liter uk gallon is 4.5l think us is 3.7l
How's the home brew working. Your nitro engine agreeing with it?
Good
Can you provide the name/web address of the place where you got your ingredients so I can order online ?
In quebec i pay 45$ for a gallon
Do you make your own now?
Super cool
What you paying per gallon.
Can you post a picture of you paper so it can be printed
How and where could i find nitromethane??
A L A dragstrip usually has it.
What is the cost per gallon of home made fuel compared to store bought?
cheeper but more effort and wont be as good
Do you still use this recipe today?
I do and it id working great but instead of using 12% of castor oil I use 10% of synthetic oil from modeltehnic and 2% of castor oil because I have an old engine on my hpi savage xl
Can you send me pictures of the paper of calculations you came up with
Klotz Benol 2 stroke oil does mix with methanol just so you know ...
is this fuel really works?
It is expensive to purchase the ingredients in bulk, but, once you finish your mix (on the assumption you made your mix accurately), you will saving a lot of money for your RC fuel.
did it work is your rc alive still
Runs great.
A like the video!!.... I want to now?... If i can do 60% for drag racing??...
Really cool info. Just wondering if the Torco rc 100% nitro can be used in this blend. Or if its the same as the nitromethane you are using. Thanks.
PS. Is it possible to get a picture of your ratio notes?
thanks again
thanks 4 sharing bro
I'm amazed people don't make their own fuel its easy and so much cheaper. I always use Cool Power Oil no need for castor oil.
Shane, thanks for the insight into making your own nitro fuel.
I really think you should manufacture your own brand and sell it cheaper than the big companies and you will do well my friend. Good luck. Thanks for sharing with us. Regards from Australia.
I don't think I would source components for making my own fuel here, as I would get a visit from all terrorist watchdogs out there!!!! Lol.
i need to make 10 percent for a helicopter :(
You can make 10% to.
6:27 literally the same gray as youtube dark mode
If he’s making nitro fuel why does he already have nitro racing fuel
It's not pure nitro for the rc cars
I use a 50:1 mix of gas and oil from my lawn equipment. The engines still work and are several years old.
1 litre gasoline + 50 ml 2T oil rite?
cool could get the recipe
a history note. in the 50s nitro was a by product as industrial by product. great for drag raceing. then latter the government made them stop making it. now nitro is the main product. equals HIGH COST . safety note do NOT i MEAN NOT mix with hydrozine. you end up with a class "A" explosive.
Your local race shop.
I will take a picture and send it to you soon.
Shane send it to me too. Thanks mate.
Me too please.. Emstorages@yahoo.com
100% nitro for planes and helis? Not even close! Planes use 10-15% nitro or less, and helis use 25-30% nitro with 23% oil, max!
I can't hear the vid well, can you please explain in a comment what type of fuel does a size 60 OS engine need? It's in my race boat now, but the engine was once running in a Kavan Bell Jet Ranger. Thanks.
Mick Carson 30% is a good starting point. I’ve heard up to 60% is used but the more nitro the harder it is on the engine.
Pay a $100 Barbados dollars and more for that
