Can I use fuel for heli and plane on truck?

[lesteryeong]

I just got a gallon of fuel and it says it's for heli and plane. 25% nitro and 18% oil, Cosmo black Special. Can I use this on a truck with recommended fuel at 20% nitro? Appreciate any help rendered. Thanks.

So you are saying it can't be used? Why is it so? The difference will only be with the oil content. More over, it's a synthetic/castor blend.

its true bro coz there is lesser ventilation on a car or truck than an airplane or heli to which a constant air flow is given to the engine. .rule of the thumb if the engine says 20% nitro it means you can use 20% or lesser to be able to run the engine properly but by doing so of using 25% nitro you tend to make the engine hotter coz more power is created. .

but in contrast to my statement i have a hpi savage with a 4.6 engine running on 30% nitro but recommended is 25% but i have a modified 40mm edf and a head heatsink enclosure on my engine

thanks for reading. . .

Never tried cosmo in a car engine before, but I use the 20% cp heli mix for my car whenever I take it out to run during sch holi. Doesn't seem to cause any issue and some people have commented that my engine is powerful. Acceleration is a bit sluggish as compared to when using car blend, but I never really tune for max performance either. YMMV.

Car fuel just have lesser oil and some castor as compared to heli fuel, isn't it? As for higher nitro content, a cooler plug or a shim might help to cool a bit.

Thanks bro for all the input. Think I better change it back to 20% in order not to break anything. Cheers.
