I also wonder if nitromethane is mixed with waer, it wil make it much safer to handle.
There is something I am not too sure, how much of the stuff can be mixed with water before saturation. Adding a small amount methanol will allow higher concentration?
The only seal that is recommended and compatible with the stuff is Teflon, Chemraz, Kalrez rubber.
I think I can make the Aquamist pump with teflon seals and would be interesting to test it.
One concern on the safety, will a moving piston sliding on a shaft seal ignite the nitro? :shock:
