Fuel Comparison

Jim Cimarolli · 03-24-2009, 07:04 PM

Has anybody tried Rocket 111 vs. VP C-12.
Just wondering how they compare.
Getting through fuel check with C-12 is a crapshoot.
Thanks

Jim. I'm using C12 had it in the car all winter (had vent plugged) and had no problems through the 4 races in Fla this spring. I buy the stuff in sealed 5 gallon containers. Need to buy some more for Valdosta race. Was planning on getting it at the track but now I'm not so sure.

I was asking Ken Snyder about checking mine at BelleRose. It was from Reynolds , last yr. C-11. In the dark blue jug, with o ring in cap. Still checked good. Weather it had any perfromance left, I doubt it, as I was way off everywhere anyway.

We hit the dyno with Rockett 111 and got 8hp and 3 ft pds of torque over the C12 on Nate Pritchetts mustang.

What kind of engine and how much compression?

I run Rockett 111 and it makes more power than C-12. I have never had a problem passing fuel check and it was cheaper! Shawn
