What I mean is what are the chemical percentages that go into making 25% nitro fuel?
I have some fuel going out to be tested and need to know what its chemical break down should be.
25% would be 25% nitromethane, somewhere between 8-14% oil, either castor, synthetic or some combo of the two with the rest methanol. That's it. Some may have small amounts of rust inhibitors, anti-foams or detergents in them but not much and they aren't needed.
