Stupid question about fuels
 
So i have a losi 810/10t engine lying around and i want to use the ROSS System for one of my boats but i run gasoline or diesel fuel. You all are probably laugh at this post or not even respond but i am just wondering if i can convert this specific engine to run on gasoline or diesel fuel.

I really hope something works!
but either way thank you for reading.

Edit:Forgot to say that i do not have a gasoline engine so i cannot use the ROSS system on a gasoline engine

You want cheap fuel right?

I think this is what you are looking for:

Be aware it is not with standard diesel from the local gas station.

Other option is to wait for the new HPI models with 15cc gasoline engine.


A much simpeler way to go cheap is to remove 0.1mm or 0.2mm from the headclearance and you can run 10% or even 5% nitro fuel which must save a lot, for sure if you do mix it by your self.

I kinda remember the Davis system making loads of instant torque, but not so much rpm.

15% nitro is plenty in most any .12-18 sport engine.
