Gasoline for Speed Week

Post by melburgorbust »

Hi All,

just wanted to confirm, I see there are some pretty tight specifics for the gasoline to be used in race vehicles. Will branded service station unleaded/premium unleaded (e10 or below) pass as race/record run fuel or do we need to buy something specific?

Thanks!

If you are running "pump gas" ,you should be fine. But be aware that E10 can have more than the 10% allowable alcohol content (the fuel company wont tell you that though!!!),Stick with the plain unleaded,91,95,98 and you should be OK.
