Default A fuelish question....

I live in a small town that doesnt have a "real" hobby shop, but there is a place here that sells fuel and a few accessories. The stuff he has is called "Witches Brew" and claims on the container that its suitable for cars as well as airplanes. It's a 20% nitro like it's supposed to be, but I'm a little leary of this as everything I have read about fuels so far has said that it should be specific for cars OR airplanes. Anyone heard of, or use this stuff? Price is about twenty three dollars per gallon.

Thanks,
Dusty

The different in car/airplane fuel is the type of oil used in the mixture, you can run airplane fuel it shouldnt hurt anything usually just has a higher oil content.

Near the bottom - see "Why not Airplane Fuel?" and the two rules at the bottom of the article.
