Nitro Methane Hobby Fuel

[colpin]

I’m new to the spudgun's and I was brainstorming a idea for a good fuel. And today I had the idea to go to the local hobby shop and get some Nitro Methane hobby fuel for a r/c car. It burns hot and fast and is extremely combustible. So I was wondering if anyone has ever tried using this and how well it worked or how bad it worked. Any thoughts would be good so I don’t blow myself when I try it.

NO THATS NOT A GOOD IDEA. I TRIES IT IN MY MINI COMBUSTION AND IT DOSEN'T work. instead it burns the sides of the chamber ruining it.
Dont try it

um... spudstuff did u spray it or just pour it in?

Nitromethane, from the wikipedia artical, will provide significantly more power.
You'll want to use about .5ml per liter of chamber volume.

It will probably work better sprayed. I tryed using a liquid fuel once (denatured alcohol) and I poured it. The puddle it created stayed on fire after the shot instead of extinguishing and nearly melted the chamber.
