Wildcat Fuels uses only the highest quality components in our fuels....and
unlike our competitors,  we  tell you what they are,  the quality and purity ratings of each and every component!  Experts such as Bob Violett, Dave Platt, Frank Tiano, Terry Nitch, Garland Hamilton, etc....use our products,and pay for their fuels just like you have to, because when quality and performance matters....they know ....fuel is not just fuel.

Nitromethane

Wildcat's Nitromethane is the highest grade in the World today and is the prefered Nitromethane of the NHRA, IHRA, and IHBA. Top fuel drivers such as Alan Johnson, Gary Scelzi, and Larry (Spiderman) McBride "Fastest man on two wheels" use our Nitro because of our quality and receive no sponsorship. Our Nitro is sold under the trade names Sunoco for the NHRA and  IHRA, and 76 for the IHBA. Sunoco is the largest race fuel manufacturer in the world today.

Wildcat uses a proprietary Nitromethane which is the highest quality of Nitro available with a purity rating of greater than99.95%. This is the HIGHEST purity rating in the industry!  NO other fuel company uses a Nitromethane of our purity, NONE! Lesser grades of Nitro are available at 99.7% and below,  but Wildcatchooses not to use them. Those lesser quality Nitro's contain other Nitroparafins such as Nitroethane, Nitropropane, and II-Nitropropane (a known carcinagen). Wildcat's Nitromethane is the ONLY Nitromethane to contain NO  II-Nitropropane. Other companies claim to have a high quality Nitromethane but when you ask them the purity percentages and II Nitropropane contamination  they simply won't say, their silence speaks volumes!  If a company claims to use a purer Nitro than Wildcat they are misleading you. 

Methanol

    Wildcat uses a 99.9% pure, first run virgin methanol. Second generation (technical grade Methanol) is available at half the price but Wildcat will NEVER use them. Our Methanol is the highest grade available in the US. Wildcat's methanol is so good we supply it  to the MOPAR Sprint Car Engine Test Facility.

Oil Packages

Wildcat uses only Klotz lubrication packages. Wildcat's lubrication packages were designed in cooperation with Klotz and are proprietary. We use only the highest grade  pressed and degummed racing castor. Any castor that is not degummed does not have the same superior properties as BeNol. While other companies settle for lower grade AA or AAA castors, we use Klotz BeNol. BeNol has a 25% greater film strength, higher load capacity, and reduced varnishing properties than the lower grade AA or AAA castors most companies use. Once again when the others choose the lesser grade materials to save money we choose quality. We back up our claims!

OIL PROPERTIES: While our competitors won't even tell you the oil contents of their products Wildcat is so proud of our lubrication packages we even give you specific properties. Once again Wildcat leads the way!

Blending & Filtration

Wildcat Fuels are blended by volume to ensure proper proportions. Wildcat uses computer certified blending and Microstir (Nitrogen Molecular blending) technologies. We double filter our fuels to a 10 micro purity the highest in the industry.

Labeling

Wildcat Fuels have always disclosed all the contents of all our fuels in writing, on every label, the only company to do so. This is a simple thing to do, or as Senior Editor of Model Airplane News  Chris Chianelli states "if they want to keep it a secret let them keep their fuel". We print Nitro content, Total oil content, and Oil blend ratios. We feel that every customer has the express right to know what your buying and running in your expensive R/C investment. Remember if it's not on the label it's not necessarily in the bottle.

Helimixis available in 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30% Nitro formula. Helimixis the premier fuel for R/C helicopters designed to produce maximum power and cooling in the harsh environment of heli flying. Helimix contains 18% oil content and is total synthetic. Helimixwas desinged as a competition fuel with the aid of competition pilots. Their request was for a fuel that smoked less, made more power, superior mid-range transition, lower heat penalities, and smelled good. Lets look at each of these requests.

Less Smoke/More Power/Superior Mid-Range - For years heli pilots associated good lubrication with large amounts of smoke, this is simply not correct. Oils used in R/C fuels can be of different viscosities (different thicknesses or weights) some fuels use large volumes of less viscous (thinner) oil with the idea that since the oil is thinner the engine will be able to accelerate quicker and the greater volume will make up for the reduced protection that the less viscous oil provides. In a few respects this is true, but the penalties outweigh the benefits. By using the less viscous oil a much greater volume is required for lubrication, this in turn reduces the amount of burnable fuel available (the oil does not burn) and thereby reduces power. Usually the result is the pilot over leaning the engine trying to extract the power. The larger volume of oil also produces excessive smoke (carbon) during combustion. WILDCAT uses a more viscous oil at 18% volume. This oil better protects the piston with a stronger shear strength and load carrying capacity lubricant. It also provides for a better seal between the piston and the sleeve, this in turn allows for higher compression due to the reduced blow-by ie.. more power. Because we use a more viscous grade of oil we can use the 18% volume, this allows more methanol and nitromethane (fuel) for the combustion process ie... more power. By using a higher viscosity oil we can use the recommended amount that meets and exceeds most warranty requirements including the popular OS heli engines. Using a more viscous grade of oil also provides for our next benefit, better heat removal. In straight forward engineering terms the greater the viscosity the higher the heat capacitance. In english, the thicker the substance the more heat it will absorb in a given amount of time. The higher viscosity oil can simply carry away more heat from the engine. Once again, this provides for a cooler running engine that will make more power and transition better. Last but not least, Klotz adds a fragrance additive that they have been producing for years for high performance racing motorcycles this gives our fuel that distinctive good smell and does not distract the judge from what he should be doing, watching your chopper!

With the help of the experts at Klotz Performance Products (The leaders in model lubrication technology) and the experience of expert helicopter pilots WILDCAT FUELS produced a superior helicopter fuel for the 21st century
