The nitro fuel delivery system plays a crucial role in optimizing the performance of engines used in motorsports, particularly in remote control vehicles. It ensures precise fuel mixture and timely delivery to the engine, maximizing power output and efficiency.

Key components of the Nitro Fuel System:

  • Fuel Tank: Stores the nitro fuel for engine operation.
  • Fuel Lines: Transport fuel from the tank to the engine.
  • Carburetor: Regulates the fuel-air mixture before entering the engine.
  • Fuel Pump: Delivers fuel at the correct pressure for combustion.

How the system functions:

  1. The fuel tank stores the nitro blend, which is a mixture of methanol, oil, and nitromethane.
  2. Fuel is pumped from the tank through the fuel lines and into the carburetor, where the air-fuel mixture is adjusted.
  3. The engine then combusts this mixture, generating the necessary power to drive the vehicle.

The precision of the nitro fuel system significantly affects both the performance and longevity of the engine in competitive environments.

Fuel mixture ratios:

Fuel Type Typical Ratio
Methanol 85-90%
Nitromethane 10-15%
Oil 5-10%
