Re: '7730 and nitromethane

["Phil Rickard" <vettebuilder@skyenet.net>]

Well, it looks like I better spend some more time on researching this stuff
before I get into trouble. I did find a website that offered a nitro-based
fuel additive that was 94% pure nitro and it was formulated specificely for
use with gasoline. There is always the alternative.....using propylene
oxide.

That site is www.pricechemical.com/nitromethane.htm

Thanks for your input guys.
