Nitro fuel is a mixture of several elements that creates a less-combustible and cooler fuel, providing more power. It can slow the process of or prevent overheating. Nitro fuel is a mix of 30 percent nitromethane, which is the element that makes the fuel less combustible. It is also made of 50 percent methanol, which allows the engine to cool faster, giving it more power. The rest of the nitro fuel mix is oil and additives that help the engine run smoothly. To use this fuel in a two-stroke engine, it must be mixed with gas.
Determine the fuel-to-oil ratio needed for your particular engine. Consult the owner's manual of the device to find this information.
Determine how much oil and gas you will need in the mix. Divide the first number in the ratio by the size of the fuel tank to find how many ounces of oil will be needed. Subtract this number from the size of your fuel tank to determine the number of ounces of gas that will be needed. Consult the owner's manual again to find the size of your fuel tank.
Determine how much nitro fuel you will mix with your oil and gas. You need equal parts gas to nitro fuel in the mix.
Place a bucket on a flat surface in an area that is well-ventilated. The bucket should be large enough to contain the entire mix. This will depend on the size of your fuel tank.
Squirt the correctly measured amount of oil into the bucket with a turkey baster that has measurement marks. Repeat this process for the nitro fuel and the gas.
Mix the gas, nitro fuel and oil together in the bucket with a paint stirrer until all of the fluids are thoroughly blended.
Pour the nitro fuel and gas mix from the bucket into the fuel tank of your two-stroke engine.
