I have about 30 gal. of race fuel left over and would like to know if there is any problem using it up in my lawn equipment and generater.

wild guess, it should work. Seems kinda pricey, though. Can't you sell it to another racer?

Come on over for Canadian Thanksgiving...our mudbog at the beach...should be perfect ....Ill crank up the timing. Bring your kids and a picnic.



"THIRTY GALLONS! ...I can CRANK the boost"sez my buddy IVAN with the turbo Subaroo bogger....

Bring coveralls

What ever is left will burn in anything.

put it in your car and get better fuel milage and clean the fuel system at the same time

How do you figure that 110 will give better gas mileage in a street car? :shock:

more complete combustion that is how it cleans the system I used to use nitro methane from when the rc car season was over to clean the fuel system in my car, and if the fuel burnes better the engine works less saving you milage. If you want to test it just try calculating your milage with 87 octane then calculate it with 93 octane I did not belive it until I tried it. Only saved about 25 miles per tank but It was a difference and with 110 octane you can just imagine. (a delivery driver for the dealership hear told me a while back so I tested it)

110 octane creates less heat energy when it burns. It can not give more power or better mileage in a regular street engine. It will reduce power output in any engine without enough compression and timing to make it work. Go to any dyno shop and watch them make pulls.

Your nitro cleaned your fuel system because it was mixed with methanol. Methanol will clean out anything.

Race fuel burns dirtier and less completely than street fuel in a street engine. Using 110-test race fuel is not going to clean anything, won't give better mileage, and won't burn more completely.

(buying it burns money faster and more completely, though... :shock: )

I took the Pepsi Challenge with 87 and 93 octane fuel in my Honda. I'm back to the 87.

People have for years assumed that since higher performance engines required higher octane fuel that the octane rating is responsible for the performance increase. Nothing could be further from the truth. The higher octane merely resists pre-ignition detonation which permits the use of more compression and more timing to wring out more performance. High octane fuel in an engine not designed to use it will generate LESS power and will have more driveablility problems.
