I've used KNSB grains, more than a year old, without problems. Same with
glucose. Always keep them in an airtight box with CaCl2. Never tried KNSU

It sounds like another advantage of sorbitol (KNSB) and production by
melting without using water: reduced sensitivity to this sort of
problem.

You are spot on Ray. When completely dry, the burn rate raises to around
when stored was the reason I gave up on sugar based fuels. It might be
possible to store the grains in a humidore with your cigars. But the best
advice I can give is to use the sugar fuel fresh in order to achieve stable
results. I cant recommend using an excicator.

well I think, no RIO tho, they aren't cracked. The cato'ing also was
happening with the small rammed powder motors(similar age) which I highly
doubt would be able to develop cracks.

What is "old" in this context? And is this KNSB or plain sugar or

I've recently observed that old fuel (atlest fuel with RIO in it) has
had RIO in it and they all katoed. I also has some old powdered fuel used
for making hand rammed motors and the the motors that I make now with it
all Kato. I made new fuel and it worked fine. I suspect that maybe the RIO
catalises some side reactions that makes the fuel become unstable? Anyone
able to shed some light on what's going on here?
