Just a thought.....Model airplane fuel mixed with the alky

turbo nasty · 08-02-2005, 02:25 PM

Wondering if you put some 20% nitro model airplane fuel in with the alky.

I have tried it in the fuel tank but it attacks the rubber and fouls the plugs on fuel injec but, a carb it does not foul the plugs and works awesome just attacks the rubber.
Back in the 80's met a engineer that worked on a top fuel race team and took care of the alcohol mixs and changing condition scenarios that they ran into around the country ...... I mean the guy was sooo knowledgeable with fuels it was sick.
He explained to use a ounce of model fuel per gallon for the right mix and it worked.
Living out west and had a 79 Bronco 4x4 w/ 351m 4v and in low 1 and 4 low it on the floor it could not make over this hill (off road) and we added the model air fuel and i just that only it climbed over it. The beast was able to drive through the mountain roads(highways) better with the cruise on vs have to drag another gear and wind forever to maintain speed.

Maybe the way the alky system sprays in before the TB would have a better chance of atomization and be a better means of introducing it to the engine like the carb. vs FI

And the nitro couldn't hurt.

I wonder if the pump is compatible???

About three yrs ago I used that stuff all summer. Gives the car a good kick when it starts to inject. At 40mph and the injection kicked on it would fry the drag radials. But it also blew the tips off my spark plugs even though I made sure I was seeing 0 knock, sometimes I added race fuel in the gas tank. It's pretty expensive and I haven't used it since.

It is 16-20% oil and the nitro requires low compression. Hotter it becomes, the worse it detonates. Just the opposite of what we are trying to do.

NOT straight, mixing some with the alky...a blend
