What premix smells like burnt RC nitro fuel?

[BMWPower]

I just bought a gallon of Klotz R-50, but it does not smell like I though it would, its still is a great oil though. Sometimes at the track I'll be behind a 2-stroke that smells like a nitro rc car, what type of premix is he using?

 

[IndyMX]

That may not be the premix oil you're smelling, but the fuel he mixed it with..

I've noticed that smell too, I think it's VP fuel.. Not sure though.

Yeah its the sweet smell of race fuel!

 

[anthony96rm250]

i know maxima 927 has one of the best smelling , smells great i run it in my bikes

I used to run Blendzall green label and it had that sort of smell. My brother thought so as well. So maybe that is what you are smelling. Also, I have noticed that Big Lou has some very nice smelling gas. :whoa:

I mix race fuel in my GSXR and everyone behind me always wants to know why my bike smells so good. It has a sweet smell to it... They love riding behind me......I also run 927 in my CR and even the thumpers like my smoker...lol always getting appraises for the smell of my bikes....makes me laugh...

the ONLY way to get the smell of nitro RC fuel is Methanol(Another Race fuel)
that and a Castor/Synthetic blend of oils


Nitromethane also plays a part in for the RC fuel smells(causes that wonderful BURN in your eyes and lungs)

i would say though if it smells like a Nitro RC its probably running on Methanol

. . . Also, I have noticed that Big Lou has some very nice smelling gas. :whoa:

That has something to do with the strawberry yogurt enemas.

Blendzall. :cool: Smells exactly like nitro and even makes your eyes burn.

As far as big lou goes,,,I don't know him as well as Jamir does.. :ohmy:

 

[mideastrider]

Yup Blendzall is what your looking for

 

[bonitz]

You are talking about Klotz Benol. Its got a green label, and says benol on the front. This is the only oil i ever ran in my 2 strokes. It's the castor oil that you are actually smelling.mmmm,good

 

[whenfoxforks-ruled]

Any race fuel smells good. Ether oxygenated fuel smells better! Castor oil is like icing on the cake. Wasn't the good blendzall the gold label? The crap at the gas station makes me gag.

 

[BMWPower]

So basically what I was smelling was castor

 

[whenfoxforks-ruled]

No.

 

[dirt bike dave]

My buddy used Gold Label Blendzall for years and it definitely has some of that RC nitro motor smell to it. FWIW, Blendzall claims the gold label has a 'power booster' additive, but they don't say what it is.

 

[bonitz]

The r/c nitro smell you are referring to is castor oil. I've never heard of blendzall, but it sounds to be about the same. I only use klotz "benol". I have three r/c trucks, and i know exactly the smell you are talking about. Benol is 20%castor if i remember correctly.

Thank you bonitz, what kind of two-stroke do you own, and does "benol" clog your power valve?

 

[bonitz]

I raced 2 strokes since i was about 9. Im 26, and i stopped racing at about 22. The beNOL is an excellecent oil. No gumming up rings or powervalves. I just picked up an 04 cr250. I havent had a chance to run it, but i know from past experience that benol is the shiznit.My last bike was a 03 kx250, and it was always clean as a whistle internally come rebuild time. Go ahead and pick up a quart,you'll be glad you did :cool:

 

[mideastrider]

This is the Blendzall I know about. http://www.blendzall.com/

That's the stuff. :nod: :cool:

I'll betcha big lou could make your eyes water too. :ohmy: :yikes:

 

[bonitz]

That blendzall seems to be about the same as the BeNOL except for th fact that you can use the blendzall in sub-zero temperatures. I'm gonna order some and check it out.The one thing that i didnt like about the BeNOL is its not stable under freezing temperatures.

I remember going to Supercross races back in the mid 90's & late 90's when it was mostly 2-strokes...walking to the edge of the dome's you could smell the sweet air as the exhaust fumes from the first practice session would lume up towards the concession stands.

It was a sweet aeromatic scent that I have yet to smell since lets say 2002 when 4-strokes were popular.

Im guessing it was the perticular type of oxygenated fuels that they no longer allow at some races??? I would pay good money to go back in time just to smell that smell...... :bang:

Oh no, Firepower lives on.
