    Might need a bit of re-tuning but should be fine.
    Ask Coolwings. He has got them to run spot on using 5% ;)

    The car will run on any fuel you have tuned it to run on. The engine in it "prefers" 16%. But I am not quite sure what the question is.

    How quick off the mark ? Quick enough
    Or
    As quick off the mark as - say - 20% No .. accelleration wil be reduced
    Or
    Will it go on 16%? Sure
    Or
    Will a nitro buggy run on "nitro car" fuel? Of course
    or
    Will it run on "old left over" fuel. Sort of

    Lubes stay good as far as I know it is the nitro? that goes off.
    How long have you got it lying around?
    If the cap was good and tight then give the gallon a good shake and try it. ;)

    Should be fine if the cap was done up tight. Give it a good shaking before you use it. At worst the car wont start.But if it does then all should be good. ;)
