Fuel Check What's the point???

Quote: I found this odd,so I asked how the other cars with Sunoco Purple were checking.I was told that out of 65 cars,I was the ONLY car running that fuel.

I just bought some new fuel jugs thinking maybe I have a problem there.If that doesn't work,then the problem is with Sunoco or the testing equipment.

When you have had success with a particular brand of fuel,you really don't like changing unless you have run out of options.

I'm almost out of options.

It's funny, because I buy my Sonoco Purple from a station near a track down here, It sat in my car for nearly a year. I went to fuel check, the NHRA tech asked what was I claiming, I told him Sonoco purple. The fuel was almost clear with no color, but it passed. The fuel guy told me to add some new so that it got it's color back to purple. I have not failed a fuel check ever since I went to Sunoco. When I was at the PRI show in Orlando, Fl, I asked how long the shelf life of the fuel was, they told me that it was 2 years in a proper container.
