Armorall in fuel

[olds97_lss]

Basher only. I bash pretty hard though. Keep my temps in the 215-270 range. I also put the piston at BDC every time the engine is shut off. I use the heat cycle break-in method. I primarily run trinity MHP 20% nitro/12% oil.

You are definately getting your money's worth out of those motors!

I totally forgot I posted this! I love coming back and seeing 2 pages! I have a quite used motor I think ill give this a whirl

I know some of the airplane guys do this. I'm cuious though, how did they discover this neat little tip? It looks like a good idea, and I can't see it doing anything to the engine. Armorall is essentially a thin oil from what I understand.

And you are adding so little to a gallon, it's almost insignificant.

I don't have problems without adding it to my fuel, do you guys? Why add something you don't need?

the only time i have a problem is when its cold out but so does everyone elses engine i hear...............its just because the fuel is colder and then takes longer to reach the carb

[Tex]

My engine runs normal when it's cold, as long as you preheat it before trying to start it.

evry r/c i hear at the track and when im over at kyles or at a friends house the engine right after you do a high speed run it slowly returns to a normal idling rev.

I used to have problems with my xxx-nt creating foam and it would vapor lock my engine. That was my first truck and now it's just a habit to avoid foam.

[rocco79]

i never noticed fuel foaming... Maybe its brand specfic???

[Michowski]

Nitro fuel doesnt foam up, it gels up if left out in the open air.

[BottledBeast]

it still dont look like a good idea..if it was they would put it in the nitro to begin with...i bash hard also and i never had a problem with foam..i didnt even know nitro could foam....lol

[rocco79]

there talking about it foaming in the tank... Thats why they put in armor all. The silcone breaks up the surface tension..... Or somthin like that

[BottledBeast]

still sounds dumb to me...but if it works it works i wont try it..no need for a cleaner in my fuel...just dont sound right
