I think fuel depends on your atmospheric conditions, engine, and use. I agree and don't think there's a company out there who just trows some fluid in a bottle and calls it fuel...they wouldn't last.

Someone needs to do a fuel shoot-out. Same day, same car, same UN-SPONSORED driver, one fuel wins! ...would be hard to get all that fuel burnt before the ambient conditions change though.

Yea, like power plus! Smells SO good. Why don't they do that with rc oils? I would rather pour CA glue in my eyes than get a plume of burnt OD. Not saying it's bad fuel, just smells like a trud covered in burnt hair...and makes my eyes bleed.

I'd rather have fumes from a nitro engine that burns Odonnell fuel than have CA in my eyes. That's just me though. At least it's gone quickly.

Can't imagine how much it would suck to have CA in your eyes.

A buddy of mine asked why does insecticide smell so bad? I told him if the insecticide manufacturer made their insecticide smells like fried chicken then tons of people will died because of inhaling too much of that stuff...

Things smell bad not because they can't be made it to smell like fried chicken, it is because it is poisonous and the manufacturers do not want people to take a deep deep smell of it...

Anthrax can be more effective if smell like Famous Amos cookies...

To be frank, some fuels smell better then others. I ran OD for years then recently switched to Byrons it smell better then OD. It must be the bean oil that makes it smell good. I think bean oil is castor oil?
