mixing glow fuel

Anybody know anything about it?

Aren't there a few drops of "Sinister Sauce" and "Essence of Terror" in there as well?

Anybody use car-specific fuel like Blue Thunder 20%?
I keep it handy for my cars....can i use it or should i get a gallon of 'plane-specific' fuel?
The only other fuel my local guy carries is Cool power (green stuff) not sure of nitro content. I will be getting a donated goldberg eagle in the near future, and my co-worker is building his first plane now...so we will need something.

Morgan is Cool Power, and DR1 is correct.

Yes, I've been doing it for over 30 years from my early free flight days on-! you can't beat it for convenience and price. Last time I bought supplies was 2 years ago, but prices are usually fairly stable, here are the prices:

Methanol - $1.60 a gallon
Nitro - $28 a gallon
Klotz - $4.25 a quart if you buy a case of 10 qt.
Benol - $6.00 a gallon- fuel grade castor oil, or "bean oil" to the hopelessly hip

You can make 15% nitro,15% oil fuel for around $8 a gallon, never having to worry about sale prices, or getting to the hobby shop while it's open.
This also lets you make your fuel to fit the needs of each engine.
Larger glow engines need less oil. I run 15% nitro,15% oil in my .91 four stroke, and 12% oil in my 2.70 twin, and I don't think this even pushing the limit. An added benefit is that the less oil you use, the better the engines idle and run- there's more burnable material in the fuel. It seems like each percent oil reduced is roughly (maybe a bit less) like adding a percentage point of nitro! Check it out for yourself.
The best thing is to use oil which is a mixture of about 2/3 to 3/4
Klotz and 1/3 to 1/4 castor since castor gives you better protection from overheating, lean runs, and rust, but is not quite as low in friction as Klotz, and leaves a gummy residue on the plane if not wiped off after every flying session. Castor is also a lot cheaper, as you can see.
If you're in the SoCal area, I can tell you where to get the components (Monarch products, Garden Grove) or you can also get good deals on Klotz, Benol, and nitro from the Klotz booth at one of the model shows around the country.
Good luck - Uncle Pauly

You forgot the best Cool Power!
