<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am late to jump in here since I do not check the list on the weekend. Methanol, being the solvent it is completely compatible with the other fuel components. Our fuel is not a suspended colloid (paints-primers), nor and emulsion, which are things that people will need to re-blend at times.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Methanol once mixed with the nitro and oil would require specialized equipment to separate.....and gravity is not special enough...The good news is if it makes you feel good then do it as it will not hurt anything either. Bad fuel is almost always water in the fuel.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br><font size=3 face="Comic Sans MS"><i>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</i></font>
