Which Fuel Is Right?

I have run C11 for over 4 years now and never had a fuel check issue, even when I left it in the cell for several months. It is kind of "sticky" and does stain yellow but has always given better numbers on the dyno when compared to C12. Remember mine is a very low compression motor and there for is pretty picky. I would be perfectly satisfied to continue to run C11 even with the greater cost but both sanctioning bodies have made it much more difficult to get! Jim

I saw the same thing. Had C11 in the fuel cel and some in a jug, sit all winter, still passed. Never an issue there. Harder for me to get VP now. Not thrilled about it. Wish NHRA had Sunoco stuck where the sun doesn't shine.

Jim, call Rodger at Murrays. He gets me VP whenever I need it. If he doesn't have it in Stock he usually gets it with in a couple days. - JB -

VP is still paying contingency and is still available almost every where (even C25) - just takes a little fore thought and planning before pulling out of the driveway at home.

I refuse to be forced to switch.

I sell VP,not anywhere close to you, Jim or Ed you can truck freight 1-4,54 drums for I believe is $150.00 now.
My salesman told me I believe the amounts were,that their 500K was short of Sunoco's 1.5mill.to be official fuel.

Of the legal fuels for Stock and Super Stock, the Renegade Pro 110 seems to work well as a replacement. It is a very consistent race fuel.
