Hello 1995 Monster T,

Castor Oil flash point is at 229ºC. But as Roelof said that the heat at the combustion point/center surely exceeding 229ºC.

I had the experience of using Runner Time fuel for some time. It has full 9% Castor Lubricating Oil, and the Piston Head comes out brown to black after 60 minutes Final. At the moment I am running VP Tessmann Edition Fuel that run propretiary 7% Full Synthetic Lubricating Oil and the Piston Head is not as brownish as with Runner Time.

Cheers..

I have been running nitro for 30 yrs. with no affect running castor oil. Low oil lube will burn any nitro engine up fast and cost you more money. Fuel is fuel It all burns. What really matters is the oil lube to protect the life of the engine.

You didn't bother to look at the facts! castor oil flash point 229C, nitro flashpoint 35c and methanol flash point 12C How can castor oil burn if nitro and methenol have a low flash point????????
