I have a can of car fuel sitting here and want to know if anyone knows whether or not I could run this in my Raptor. I have been running Curtis Youngblood 30% w 23% oil.

The car fuel is Trinity Nitro Power 30%

What's the oil content? Heli engines need 20% oil.

Pretty sure that the oil content of your car fuel will be insufficient.

Nothing less than 18% is advisable.

Dont use it, most of the car fuel I seen has only around 12-14% oil in it, I ran a tank of Trinity in my raptor and it ran like crap

Would it not be possible to simply buy some oil (castor or other) and add it to the fuel?

I think I will just add a little at a time to my heli fuel until it is gone.
