Fuel change from VP to Sunoco - Page 2

Don't sweat it 4543...Drain all your fuel from the cell. Open the cap to allow the foam to air dry as long as possible, put a small amount of new fuel in (1/2 gallon)....undo the fuel line at the carb and run the small amount into a fuel jug and discard. You have successfully Douched your fuel system..LOL !!"."........M.J.

I was speaking to some of the tech guys at Pomona, and they said that they are going to be very lenient with fuel at least for the first few races. The sportsman classes are still allowed to run VP, we just won't be able to buy fuel at events.

The Sportsman classes can run a number of race fuel brands including Renegade. All of the fuel info is available on the NHRA web site under accepted products list.

I don`t understand why people aren`t doing what some of have had to do when Sunoco became unavailable at Nat`l events a long while ago,bring extra to the track from home instead of changing brands? I`ve heard different brands are a different tune up.

Gene, I switched recently from C12 to Renegade 110. Didn't notice any difference in ET. Much cheaper too. Fuel check has never been a problem either.

try price wise looks good. Thanks gene

I was told to throw away the foam, its a accident waiting to happen.
Can you use Sunoco from last year if its in a plastic jug with the cap
tight. Thank you.
