Yes, you can run pump gas…NO , it will not pass fuel check. When I started racing stock eliminator in the late seventies PUMP gas was legal.

Thanks. Fuel check makes 0 sense to me anyway.

Very interesting comment about your car running better on pump gas. West coast LEGEND Cal Method told me that when he was forced to switch to RACE GAS , his 283’s slowed down also ……

Darrel do you have any idea of how many fuel additives that are out there that will increase HP that won't make it pass fuel check. I'm glad they do fuel check. Wouldn't want to loose a heads up race to someone that has spiked their fuel. BP

What was that stuff some were running a few years back? I remember at Indy smelling it as cars were called to the lanes and it even smelled caustic.🤢

Wow no fuel check , alittle nitro goes alone way my friend . If your looking to save money on race fuel shop around or buy in bulk with a friend and store it correctly ...Just saying ...

Good evening,
Yes pump gas in a low to mid compression engine is faster.
I used to get pump gas to pass by pumping air into it like a fish tank. The oxygen would boil off some of the chemicals in the pump gas and it would barely pass. Then NHRA started asking what I was putting in the gas to make it pass, I didn't have the heart to tell them it was what I was removing. Pump gas is no longer "gas " its fuel! There are some many chemicals in it that there isn't enough room for Gas. So the last time I tried to run it and NHRA told me - NO MORE PUMP GAS.
Its possible at this point that with all the chemicals in pump gas, maybe NHRA feels that they can't police it. Any way Its a heck of a lot cheaper and it would make sense (economically) to use it, but policing it is probably the root cause for not allowing it. That's pretty much my take from what I experienced in the past.

Respectfully,

I guess it isn’t a big deal. I’ll use pump gas when bracket racing and use race fuel at NHRA events. Thanks for the discussion.
