• 

Always observe all warnings, precautionary 

statements and instructions supplied by the fuel 

manufacturer/provider.

• 

Fuel is a fire accelerant. Never operate your vehicle 

near open flames. Never smoke while operating your 

vehicle or while handling fuel. 

• 

Always only use a mixture of gasoline and two-cycle 

oil for fuel. Do not use glow (nitro) fuel.

• 

Always use caution when handling gasoline.

• 

Always run your model engine in a well-ventilated 

area. Model engines produce harmful carbon 

monoxide fumes.

• 

Always drain your engine after you have finished 

running your vehicle. Do not store the vehicle with 

fuel in the gas tank.

• 

Never handle model engines and mufflers until they 

have had time to cool. They become extremely hot 

when in use.

• 

Always store your fuel in a safe place well away from 

sparks, heat or anything that can ignite.

• 

Always ensure that gasoline and fuel are stored in a 

clearly marked container well away from the reach of 

children.

• 

Always mix and store your fuel safely in a sealed, 

water-resistant container specifically made for 

gasoline. 

• 

Always store fuel in a cool, dry location. Do not 

allow fuel containers to come in direct contact with 

concrete, as the fuel may absorb moisture.

• 

Always responsibly discard fuel if there is 

condensation and/or water inside the fuel container.

• 

Never allow fuel to come into contact with eyes 

or mouth. Gasoline and other fuels used in model 

engines are poisonous.

• 

Never return unused fuel from the fuel tank back into 

the fuel container.

• 

Contact your local waste disposal authorities for more 

information about discarding fuel waste responsibly.

• 

Only use gasoline mixed with two-cycle engine oil.

• 

Only use pre-mix two-cycle engine oil. Do not use any 

other kind of oil.

• 

Always use 92–98 Octane RON (Europe) and 87–93 

Octane AKI (US) gasoline.

• 

Always blend gasoline with two-cycle engine oil at a 

25:1 ratio.

• 

Never use a 40:1 or 32:1 gas-oil ratio.

• 

Never use glow (nitro) fuel.
