Stand Alone - question on different burn rates

I just picked up a Nitous Outlet stand alone. Bought it with the intentions of running C16 in it and 93 in the regular tank. Spraying a 200 shot, stock bottom end. Had a discussion with a budy about differences in burn rate. He was aggainst the idea of mixing two different fuels because of the difference in burn rate. Any argument either way?

He's right, really. But lots of people get away with mixing fuels with moderate shots.....myself included. I run premium pump in the car and 110 in the standalone with my fogger (.024 jets).

i'm pretty sure that nitrous outlet wouldn't make money on their stand alone if there was any serious issue with mixing the fuels.

Doesn't higher octane burn faster and hotter?

Nope. Higher octane burns slower hence the reason the higher octane will keep detonation at bay.

I think you and your buddy are thinking too much into it. Think about the thousands mixing gas. Or running meth
