CAR Fuel
►
High r.p.m. and specific design of RC car engines evoked by demands to achieve the highest power and acceleration as possible, it forced the correspondings fuel composition with low oil content (the oil is not burning and so it do not participates on the achieved engine power), and diferent kinds of additions (for the friction reduction, acceleration improving, foaming and the corrosion reduction etc.). Due to the especially developed lubricants, it was possible to reduce the oil content in the fuel as much as 9% in the CALIBER C Race-Pro racing fuel, naturally for the quality branded engines produced in the neccessary accuracy and tuned for optimal running. For the sport purpose the CALIBER C Race-Pro Oil+ with oil content 11 -12% is recommended. For the RTR cars (Assembled complete sets with cheaped engines) the CALIBER C RTR fuel contains16% of lubricant. The CALIBER C fuel is clasified as the top quality ones mainly due the utilize of newest kowledge in the sphere of lubrication and fuel aditives ensures top power achieving at extended engine lifetime.

► The concrete type of CALIBER C fuel recommended for the particular engine producers (showed below) is a basic information only for the case that the recommended % of oil and nitromethane is not introduced in the Instruction manual for concrete engine or car.
► The engine division acordinghly the producer name and aditionally subjoin the fuel type to the concrete engine is not fully objective due this reason, that although the producer use the same machinery for all the type of engines what are produced by him, and so the production quality is practically the same for all the produced type of engines, the correct fuel choose is obvious also due the engine design. It varies type from a type (3,5,6 7,9 transfer chanels, different type of ball bearings , different type of cylinder and piston, different type of manifold, glow plug etc.) In the other hand, it is very important to see to the engine producer recommendation for the engine operation, especially as about the fuel needle correct setting. The very frequent mistake the engine setting to the maximum power is too "lean" setting when the engine is irregularly stressed and runs too hot compare to the producer recommendation.
This engine temperature is very important factor and must be periodically checking, if the engine would be running at the correct conditions (compression ratio, used glow plug, fuel type, cooling).

In case you need to use the fuel with higher content of nitromethane than recommended by engine producer (for the power rise or the engine temperature reduction - is used in Summer months) it is neccessary to lower the compression ratio by adition insert installation under the cylinder head. Usually the 0,1 mm thickness corresponds with the 5-10% Nitromethane rise.
In case that the used fuel has higher content of nitromethane than recommended by engine producer (for the basic setting) it is neccessary to change the compression ratio (to lower ones) because the engine can be destroy by high temperature and wear.
