Anyone test Renegade fuel ?
Has anyone done any back to back testing with Renegade fuel and any other fuels on the dyno ? I hear the Renegade 110 is supposedly better than C11............I'm just curious.

Re: Anyone test Renegade fuel ?
We will probably test two of Renegade's fuels tomorrow, against Sunoco Supreme, which runs great in both cars. I'll be sending the data to my friend, Toby Baptiste, at Renegade.
We quit running C-11 years ago, it was nasty, and C-12 ran better. The problem with C-12 is it is ridiculously expensive, and we've had fresh C-12, from the VP drum, at the VP trailer fail fuel check, when fuel check was 30 feet away from the trailer. I ran VP for decades, but failing fuel check 3-5 times a year at $12 or more a gallon was just unacceptable.

Re: Anyone test Renegade fuel ?
I spoke to Mike Crawley the local florida rep for renegade. He quoted me a very good price for a drum of the renegade fuel. I would be interested to see the results of the tests on the dyno . I will most likely switch to the renegade fuel in the near future.

Re: Anyone test Renegade fuel ?
Renegade is not a refiner. I bought two drums last year one checked like Sunoco 110 and one checked like competition fuel 114. I think they buy fuel from different refineries snd re- sell it. Be careful because you won't always know what you're getting.

I sent Toby Baptiste an email with a link to this thread. I also told him to email Ken before he posted.
Toby is a good guy, I've known him since he was around 7 years old, he's been involved in drag racing all of his life.

Why would or should a sealed 5 gal drum be any different than buying it out of a 30 or 55 gallon drum straight off the truck?

Re: Anyone test Renegade fuel ?
VP has a high pop-off rate (ie., unstable). I've had Sunoco laying around from one year to the next with no issues.
I think many of the 'new' names in the fuel business are offshoots from when the Torco empire crashed. I found Torco to be very similar to Sunoco. Good fuel, and stable. Remember when testing different fuels you may need to change your jetting. Different fuels can have different sized fuel molecules, changing your mixture.
