Default Re: Race fuel , race oils and rust.

Racing gas is very corrosive-- it eats away at the inside of carbs and the gaskets and can wash any oil off the cylinder walls, rings pistons etc.---- we completely drain ALL gas from the bowls at the end of eveyday's racing activities as well as FOGGING the engine with any of the aerosol products out there (I use marine or boat fogging stuff easier to find)---we also replace the spark plugs with desiccant plugs---this lessens the chances for any moisture doing what you are describing--FED 387
