I figured it would be safer to buy Sunoco at the track, than to haul 15 gals of fuel while towing.
Lost qualifying rounds, due to failing fuel check. The sample the techs had were gotten at the track! Same place I bought mine! Maybe Sunoco has their act together better now, so their fuel always checks the same. I now avoid it like the plague.
A tech guy I know told me they found not even every drum checked the same. Different dates did not always check the same. He said they loosened their checking tolerances a little. Guess if your a sponsor......
I was probably not supposed to have told this. It is true.

Wow...I like the Sunoco 260GTX..not everyone carries it.
Does that mean I need to carry my own fuel?
Then stock up at home?
This is crazy...
It is one of the main reasons not moving up to Stock.
Fortunately the Association races are more relaxed.
How do you drain the fuel safely!
