Title: 3 Months Old Fuel Post by: divay99 on June 11, 2010, 10:22:34 AM Hi,
I have a mixture of methanol and castor oil (80%,20%) which I made for flying abt three months ago, I have not flown since then, can I still use the fuel or would it have gone bad ? :help: Title: Re: 3 Months Old Fuel Post by: Sahevaan on June 11, 2010, 11:26:18 AM If the castor has separated from the methanol , then it would have gone bad . Also if you have sediments at the bottom of the bottle .
Happy flying, Sahevaan Title: Re: 3 Months Old Fuel Post by: sushil_anand on June 11, 2010, 11:43:10 AM Also check if it is cloudy. That would mean water absorption and best discarded.
