thank you

Depends... If any part or carb is brass (common in float construction) or viton (synthetic rubber seals) it will eventually self destruct. If engine is not high compression you're just wasting money and won't realize any significant power increase if any at all. Engines that use this stuff are specifically designed for it. Carburetor jets have to be enlarged and ignition timing has to be advanced to compensate for different combustion characteristics.i have a 5 hp briggs and i was just gonna put a little bit mixed in with a full tank of gas no mods or anything......bad idea?
Higher octane in itself is not the problem. Higher octane is a good thing provided engine can utilize it.all it is is higher octane fuel.
I highly don't recommend it! Like Russ said, it requires special equipment. The fuel contains oil in it's mixture and it will gum up your carb or deform some gaskets! I tried it once on a weed whacker engine and I ended up having to take the carb completely apart to clean it because of the nitro.The carbs on some of those little R/C engines are really simple compared to even the smallest weed whacker engine.
Yes it seems pretty cool the first time you try it but it's not worth it.
I dont know about you, but I used just a little bit in a tank of gas (I added rc car 20% nitro) and It burned straight thru the gas lines and ate the primer bulb within seconds....
It was awesome!!:rolleyes3:
