Tampering with fuel
 

Anybody know what this is about? I'm assuming they found something in somebody's fuel. http://nhraracer.com/content/general...754&zoneid=132

It may be a warning to both Pro Stock and Comp Eliminator.
The NHRA mandated Sunoco SR-18 fuel has been a nightmare for both classes.
NHRA will not give the option to Comp to still use the VP C-25 fuel while others in Comp can use any of the approved fuels.

Maybe there are fuel additives people have been using for a few years now that they finally have a way of checking for???

Re: Tampering with fuel
 

I heard rumors at the Epping national event that Pro Stockers my be mixing there fuel with C25. A 50/50 blend was mentioned.
I know in comp. it took us 10 runs to get the fuel curve close with SR18 in the truck I am working with. We had 2 pails that didn't pass fuel check that came right off the truck but Sunoco replaced them.

Go to insidecompracing.com and read about the fuel issues with the Sunoco fuel.

That's what I was thinking Bryan. Sounds like it might be multiple issues here.

It's gotta be the Cajuns. They are always carrying around questionable liquids.

They drink most of them.

Re: Tampering with fuel
 

I heard from a fellow racer that when an oxygenator is detected in a fuel, NHRA tech is telling the user of that fuel to "not use it again!"

In Charlotte at the 4 Wides, two different devices were used to check my fuel during qualifying. When I asked what they were checking for with the new device, they would not give me an answer. Well, now I know what they are checking for.......oxygenators.

It is well known around the Stock and SS community that certain "additives" have been used over the past few years that were not detected during fuel check. Well, now they are being detected. I think this pretty much sums it up.

How many on here have ever heard of "Power Mist?"

Re: Tampering with fuel

Re: Tampering with fuel
 

They sell a lot of that down here in Baltimore, Maryland

Re: Tampering with fuel
 

Anything will pass fuel check, if the guy gives NHRA a sample that did not come from his fuel cel, but from a bottle he keeps stashed under the hood just for fuel checks.

Re: Tampering with fuel
 

It was always a practice that the pro stock car and bikes were to come to the back of staging with a dry cell where the were all filled from the same drum, has that changed? Some of us older racers remember the days with erc and other stuff that was out there, some pro teams ran European f1 stuff that was 60$ a gallon back in the day, that why we now have fuel checks, Tom

Alex, it appears the Cajun's have lost their edge...the latest poll shows that the Yankees are drinking more than the South!

Power Mist was the first can of toy airplane fuel I bought for my OK Cub .049.

Re: Tampering with fuel
 

If I lived up there, I would drink a lot too!

Re: Tampering with fuel
 

Not just Div 1.

Re: Tampering with fuel
 

Here is how you do it. Put about half cup of Nitro or one cup on Klotz in the pan. Worth 3-4. Don't smell. Put one cup and it will really pick up because your block and pan are now vented for air flow.

Re: Tampering with fuel
 

Hmmm...Ya know, I'm betting you told that Bobo guy about that one time..

Some of that crap back in the day could give your newborn an extra eyeball, or kill ya.
