leftover nitro ?

[Phil Schuman]

I have a gal of 20% Nitro from last winter...
Have not run my car since then.
Can I toss the Nitro into the normal car gas tank ?
or the lawnmower ?
It's sad to see a $20/gal of Nitro just sitting there :(

Stick it in your nitro and run it?

Run it.. if kept out of the sun it should be ok. Doesn't hurt to try.

I have a gallon of Trinity 20% MHP that I didn't use anymore since I
switched to Traxxas fuel (which holds a tune MUCH better).

So I'm using that gallon as bonfire starter. Works great and the nice
blue flame and scent always gets "ooos" and "ahhhhs" when we have
friends over. And doesn't take much to get a good fire going. But you
smell it for hours. :)

We made a 8HP Techumsa run with it when I was a kid, had to fatten it
way up though. Can't remember exactly what we did (This was over 20
years ago), but I remember there were carb modifications to get it to
fatten up more.

We were doing this as an extension of the success of out last project,
which was mounting a 5HP Horizonal shaft engune onto a bicycle, which
worked awesome, but the block got ruined in a rather spectacular crash.
The best part was that we didn't have anywhere to mount the fuel tank,
so the rider work a backback with the fuel cell in it. What fun. . ..
