What forms
of payment does FHS Supply accept?Up
All major Credit Cards, UPS COD, Cash, Traveller's Cheques, Money Orders,
Certified/Cashier's Checks, Bank Wire Transfers, etc.
We do not accept Letters of Credit.
Due to the fees associated with hazardous UPS COD packages, FHS will no longer ship
hazardous materials (i.e. fuels/HP boosters) on a COD basis. All the oils (racing,
automotive, and model) are non-hazardous and can ship UPS COD. We prefer that COD
packages ship to a business address. Please note that since Sept. 98, UPS no longer
accepts cash payment of COD's, only company checks, money orders, etc.

What are
the different types of racing oils & fuels, and which is the fastest?Up
FHS Superior Racing Oils & Fuels Brochure (click to
enter)
|
FHS Dominator TER980c Oil with the proper amount of Slicker Oil
Additive is the fastest combo for Stock engines!
We have even had at least one person report excellent results using this in a Jr. Dragster
for over a year with no problems. Combine this with Nitro and Propylene HP boosters and
you can join the winners!! Dominator oil placed 1st the 1997 Palmyra Ultimate.

How can I
use Nitro and/or Propylene Oxide igniter for racing?Up
Instructions for use of NitroMethane, NitroEthane, Propylene Oxide
**IMPORTANT**
See the appropriate MSDS (listed above) for these materials before use!
These materials are highly flammable and should be used with extreme caution!
The HP Boosters are fuel additives which will increase the power of fuel.
Fuel types --HP Booster:
Methanol -- NitroMethane, Propylene Oxide
Gasoline -- NitroEthane, Propylene Oxide
Max Compression Ratios:
NitroMethane, NitroEthane -- 8:1 or less
Propylene Oxide -- 16:1 or less
Warning! Use at higher compression can cause detonation and engine damage!
Power Range:
NitroMethane, NitroEthane -- All around booster and high end horsepower - will light
one off!
Propylene Oxide -- Igniter and low end horsepower for the corners and off the starting
line: extra torque
Suggested safe fuel ratios (assuming correct compression):
Stock engine: 10% Nitro + 10% Propylene + 80% Fuel
To mix (for best results mix just before the race):
Get a gallon fuel jug
Add 13 oz Nitro
Add 13 oz Propylene
Fill remainder with regular fuel
Seal tightly until use
Some people go up to 20%, 30%, or higher on the Nitro (experienced users only), but there
is not much point to go higher than 15%-20% on Propylene Oxide igniter.
For Nitro, engine adjustments may necessary to get the full benefit of these additives:
Increase jet size, set timing back, remove some gear teeth -- hold on tight!.
For Propylene Oxide, no engine adjustments are necessary, although some people
like to go up one jet size.
Note: These can be mixed in FHS oils to make "Hot Oil".
However, they have their best effect when used as fuel additives (i.e. in the fuel).
The stock Briggs can safely replace about 4-5 oz of oil with these HP boosters and still
maintain FHS oil lubrication and integrity.
As with all hazardous chemicals, use maximum caution (and common sense) at all times.
The information accumulated herein is believed to be accurate but is not warranted to
