a fair while back someone posted instructions on how to extract the Nitro methane from Remote Control car fuel..
(the reason you do this is because RC car fuel contains castor oil)
anyways, i copied the instructions back then, and i finaly got around to extracting the NM from the fuel, but i lost the instructions somewhere on my computer

so i was wondering if someone could please re-post them.

Also, in my search for NM the other day, i was talking to someone over the phone and he said the AV-GAS was(is) Nitro Methane, is it? - if not, could it be used as a replacement for the NM in ANNM??

If by "Av-Gas" you mean the 100 octane gasoline made for piston-prop aicraft and sold at airports, I don't think it contains any NM. If you're referring to some other product known as Av-Gas, I don't know the answer. If this is the case, sorry for grabbing the wrong end of the stick.

SEPARATION FROM HOBBY RACING FUEL
Obtain some model airplane racing fuel (e.g. SIG Champion 35, SIG
Corporation). This or an equivalent is available from a hobby store.
Plåce one quart in a 2000 ml flask or a narrow necked gallon jar. Place a
one hole stopper in this container with a stainless or glass tubing
running just through the stopper. The other end of this tubing is placed
through another stopper (two hole) fitted into another gallon jar or flask.
This tubing should reach to the bottom of the second container. The second
hole in this stopper is hooked to a vacuum source. The first flask is
placed in a hot oil or water bath at 50 degrees C. The second jar is placed
in a salted ice bath. The vacuum is then drawn. The nitro methane and
methanol will begin to collect in the second container. This is continued
until only about 5-10% of the solution in the first flask remains. The
liquid from the second flask is removed after the vacuum is released. This
is poured into a shallow pyrex or stainless steel pan or dish. Let this set
over night. This will allow the methanol to evaporate. The remaining liquid
is 85-95% nitro methane with the remainder being methanol. This compound
will work almost as well as a pure compound.

There is a very easy way for extracting NM from race fuel. And that's: just add some water. For details see "methods for extracting NM" in the High Explosives section. This methods works only with race fuels with a low castor oil content (or mixtures with a high NM/castor oil ratio).
