I would stay clear of nitro-probably would melt or explode something. I would suggest using ethanol at first.
WARNING: Combustion products of plastics are toxic. They include carbon monoxide and cyanide, among other materials. Thus, it is a NECESSITY to ONLY run the engine in a VERY well ventilated space-preferably outdoors!
Also, stay away when it is running (risk of structural failure and flying shrapnel)

I recommend nitro fuel because it would be more efficient than gasoline in this case. In nitro cars they use nitro because it is more powerful than gasoline with a lesser amount of air; hence the size of this piston. There is also a problem with it being four stroke and one cylinder. If you're going to run it for more than 1 second, the piston, since it's plastic as well as the flywheel i think, will not be able to keep enough momentum to keep the motion of the enging going.
Hey man! I like the engine and a thank you for making an update. But, have you worked out the ignition yet? I still think its cool and i hope it works! good luck! :D
dont weld it what if u dont like it

@Lemontech137 Other than that, I really respect your design. It's really cool! Keep building

i think you should get a glow plug and run that on nitro.
