That's what I was thinking Bryan. Sounds like it might be multiple issues here.

It's gotta be the Cajuns. They are always carrying around questionable liquids.

I heard from a fellow racer that when an oxygenator is detected in a fuel, NHRA tech is telling the user of that fuel to "not use it again!"

In Charlotte at the 4 Wides, two different devices were used to check my fuel during qualifying. When I asked what they were checking for with the new device, they would not give me an answer. Well, now I know what they are checking for.......oxygenators.

It is well known around the Stock and SS community that certain "additives" have been used over the past few years that were not detected during fuel check. Well, now they are being detected. I think this pretty much sums it up.

Smells to much like propylene oxide to use

It was always a practice that the pro stock car and bikes were to come to the back of staging with a dry cell where the were all filled from the same drum, has that changed? Some of us older racers remember the days with erc and other stuff that was out there, some pro teams ran European f1 stuff that was 60$ a gallon back in the day, that why we now have fuel checks, Tom
