<DIV><EM><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">It was Wildcat Pro Mix 25% nitor with
synthetic castor blend for rc cars. I had just used up a gallon of the same
thing and bought another gallon at the same hobby store that the oringinal was
purchased at and had the problem with a few hours. It acted like there was a
leak in the fuel system. Since it was a new gallon of fuel I disregarded the
chance that the fuel was bad but after checking the fuel system and changing
engines and then changing the complete fuel system too and still having the
problem I went to a different fuel bottle and all was well. So, a new gallon of
fuel that was not very old at the hobby store was bad but other gallon jugs
delivered at the same time were fine. Just had never heard of shaking it
up..</FONT></EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Another question.....Are there any drawbacks
to shaking it up? Thanks,,,Don.............</FONT></EM></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't, But I've only been flying 4 years.
I got bad fuel once, so I switched brand and never happened again. What
fuel are you using? I just pulled the gallon out of the case and
fly. :)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><EM><FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Someone who has been racing rc cars for
over 20 years and is a very qualified rc guy asked me this week if I had
been "shaking" the gallon fuel bottles to mix the ingredients up before
using. I had gotten a bad gallon of fuel that was just purchased from
a local hobby shop and in questioning him about this is when he asked
me the question. I have been doing rc for over ten years and I have never
done this or have ever seen anyone doing this. Do any of you out there in
"pattern land" do this?
Thanks.....Don</FONT></EM></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
