When you buy sunoco make sure it's not methanol

Yup, you and Kyle have had a great year, and CONGRATS..

I shouldn't say that I'm off the circuit just yet, cause it depends on the money.. and I am closing in on a freshen-up, with updates.... cha-ching...

And my first car was a 67 Chevelle, BBC, 4spd... and that was 1972...

Probably see you soon...

I have bought fuel from Atco out of the back of a box truck. Could not see what the label on the drum said, I trusted that the guy was giving me what I wanted. I asked for Sunoco Blue, and that is what I got.

Now, if Methanol, or whatever the OP was given, is the same color, that could lead to confusion. I don't know about the difference in smell between that the OP wanted and what he got.

I know my mother has been unable to smell things for the last 30 or so years. What it the OP has no sense of smell either?

At this point I would expect Sunoco to simply give him his money back for the fuel, nothing more. Mistakes happen.
