Hydroscopic & Helicopter Engine OS50 Tuning
ξ the fuel mixture of methanol, nitro and oil
ξ methanol as the main fuel ingredient
ξ nitro as a sort of power enhancer
ξ Oil ensure lubrication; typical oil content 20% to 22%
ξ oils: Coolpower green, Coolpower LV (pink) and Klotz KL198
ξ more advanced fliers use 20% nitro
ξ the fuel is hydroscopic, which means it absorbs moisture from the air
ξ this will ruin the performance and potentially the engine also
ξ keep the lid on the fuel at all times (a cover or seal for a container)
ξ avoid condensation, so plastic containers are better than metal
ξ keep containers off the concrete garage floor
ξ the shelf life of the fuel is likely to be in excess of 5 years
ξ keep the fuel clean, don't get grit and dirt into the fuel

Hydroscopic & E85 Chopper
ξ Ethanol is also extremely hydroscopic
ξ It has to be shipped by truck, in smaller quantities

Hydroscopic & Multi Fuel Capacity with The Internal Combustion Engine
ξ Supreme Court decisions have declared Carbon Dioxide as a Greenhouse Gas to be regulated by the E.P.A.
ξ any thing burned with Oxygen will produce Carbon Dioxide
ξ however if it comes from a growing plant source it is a trade off as the plant absorbs Carbon Dioxide and omits Oxygen
ξ fossil fuels have been encapsulated in the earth for millennia
Ethyl Alcohol ξ is made from distilling fermented grains like corn or sugar cane
ξ ethyl alcohol for fuel use often has dangerous additives mixed into it to prevent human consumption, such as formaldehyde
ξ ethyl alcohol, or grain alcohol, is C2 H5 OH
ξ grain alcohol is used for beverages
Methyl Alcohol
ξ methyl alcohol is C H3 OH
ξ is poisonous
ξ is made from the destructive distillation of wood or other cellulose plant material, or is made synthetically
ξ is corrosive to a number of metals, particularly the fuel systems in older automobiles
Both fuels
ξ are hydroscopic and absorb water, which enhances the corrosion problem over time
ξ bio-fuels for diesel engines need further processing to remove the glycerin that can cause piston ring damage
