The FX Engine has been conceived to use only car fuel. There are lot of fuels on the market, as the aeroplane fuel, but use exclusively the one intended for cars. We also recommend you to use some top-market fuel. Some middle and bottom range fuels contain strong nitrométhane in acid which could oxidize some engine parts. The bad quality methanol can contain an important concentration of water which can also lead to the corrosion of engine parts. It is vital that the used fuel contains enough oil to avoid the superheating of the engine. In the worst case, the engine parts can be damaged by a lack of lubricant even before the engine is in superheating. To avoid any fuel problem, we advise you JP FUEL one that we use in competitions..
Please ask your retailer for a foam air filter . Make sure to well-soak the foam of the filter with some JP RACING oil for foam filters ( 90109 ). The filter will be ineffective without the special oil for foam filters. An excessive wear and the breakage of engine parts can be the result of badly maintained air filter. Make sure that the air filter is always clean and well-oiled at every use.
Use JP RACING glow plugs for your engine. A bad quality glow plug makes the engine adjustment more difficult. Check the status of your glow plug before you wish to prevent the engine starting problems. If the glow plug is damaged after usage of the engine, check carefully the engine before its new run, especially if the filament felt in the engine.
