I don't have sound at work, what happened? It looked like it was boiling.

Shaking made foam. A-All added a bit of silicone, whick kills the surface tension and prevents foaming.

i cant see that being good for a motor tho ??
Armorall in fuel - Tex - 03-17-2006
don't try that kiddies, there is no problem with how our fuel is now.

If it doesn't harm the motor though it could keep bubbles from forming in the tank or getting in the lines. I won't do it but it's a thought.
Armorall in fuel - NiTrO_aDdIcTiOn - 03-17-2006
we use it all the time in rc airplanes I know many people that use it religously but i never really had big foaming issues except on my spad planes so i only used it for those
Armorall in fuel - FreeRideFrosty - 03-17-2006
And you had no problems with the motors afer using it?? That is awesome!!
Armorall in fuel - Tex - 03-17-2006
I don't have problems with foam now, why try and fix something that isn't broke?
Armorall in fuel - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 03-17-2006
It's an airplane thing....you wouldn't understand.

Yeah... it was my video. It doesn't seem to have any ill effects on the engine. I get a lot of foam in the tank when bashing my savage. I have a buggy tank that is solid mounted without any grommets to absorb any of the vibration.
I've been using it for 4 years on all my engines. The only engine I've had in 4 years that I ran until it was actually worn out was an OS 21 RG. I had it re-pinched at 12 gallons. I've run another 4 gallons through it since then.
All other engines have either been sold or in something that I sold.
OS 15 CV-R(x) had 9 gallons through it when sold and it still ran perfectly.
Orion Wasp 18 had 8 gallons through it when sold and it also ran perfectly.
OS 15 CV-R(x) #2 had 4 gallons through it before I tried "porting" it... but I can't blame the problems it had on the fuel...
Omega 21 Comp had 7 gallons through it before the carb housing cracked on it due to a really bad landing.
Current OS 21 RG #2 has 5 gallons through it and runs great.
Current TRX 2.5R has only 1 gallon through it and runs fine.

That is great engine life. Maybe armourall is like STP for nitro?
Armorall in fuel - olds97_lss - 03-18-2006
I feel like I haven't done a good job tuning/maintaining an engine if I don't get at least 9-10 through it before a pinch or replacement is needed...
Armorall in fuel - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 03-18-2006
Just curious, do you race your engines, or mainly bash, or both?
