- 1). Mix a fairly basic fuel before moving on to more elaborate recipes. You can just mix 80 percent methanol with 20 percent castor, or synthetic, oil. For a little more pep, try 75 percent methanol with 20 percent castor oil and 5 percent nitromethane. Helicopters and four-stroke models tend to have a higher oil content in their fuel than other machines. Research your own model's requirements.
- 2). Measure out the liquids in the appropriate ratios. Fuel is always mixed by volume, rather than by weight, as some liquids are.
- 3). Add additional ingredients slowly to the methanol, which is the base substance, in a solid plastic container. Stir the mixture continually with a plastic spoon.
- 4). Pour the fuel carefully into a suitable storage container and stir for another 15 minutes.
- 5). Label the container with the function of the fuel, the date it was made and the ingredients and ratio used.
