Since having these same issues years ago. A number of us eastern racers have switched to aluminum fuel cells with shut off valves on the vent and feed line and no foam filler. This is also major time and work saver at and between races with fresh fuel always in the car if you need to move it or get to the first qualifier etc. The VP reps say the proper way to store fuel for ANY period of time is in a STEEL/METAL container with an air tight seal. Since doing these things we have not had any problems or bad fuel at fuel check w/C11 or C12. My C11 sits in the trailer in a 30 gallon VP drum all winter with out issues. 15 gallon drums are also available. As for Sunoco, I know a few racers who stopped using it because they felt they were always being hassled for it. Remember NHRA wants uniformity and simplicity along with supporting their SPEC sponsors. Good question Jody, maybe more people will end their fuel issues and have more time for drinking beer! LOL!
