Title: Norvel NVX Fuel
Post by: John Castle on November 16, 2009, 10:33:38 AM

I picked up a quart of Norvel NVX 35% fuel. The label says 35% nitro and 18% Klotz oil. I want to use this in all of my engines both Norvel and Cox so I think I need to ad some castor oil to it. Being math challenged I was hoping for some guidance on how much castor oil to add. Any suggestions?


Thanks

I've run it as is in Cox engines with no issues.

John,

I'd add 1.6oz of Castor oil, to bring total oil to 22 percent.

Here is a link to what I think is the easiest to use program for fuel blending, or adding oil.

When I talked to Sig about this fuel (which they blend), they suggested using their Champion fuel instead.  Champion line is 50/50 castor and synthetic with a total oil content of 20%.

John, i also have used this in Cox engines with no issues. They only probs i had with this fuel was on overcompressed combat engines blowing a lot of glow plugs.
