Failing Fuel Check?

[Rich Biebel]

When I had my Firebird Stocker a couple season ago.......The first race I went to I brought fresh Sunoco purple.....I had it checked before I made a run.....it was ok in the jug. After the second run....my fuel failed! Same fuel and the cell was empty when I got to that race. I pumped out all the fuel. bought a new jug and frsh C-11. That fuel was fine.

At 2 races I can recall C-12 failed and one was at Cecil County. I bought the fuel from the tracks supply that day and he had all fresh drums.....A lot of people were failing with C-12 , I believe so they let everyone slide. The next day they checked fuel again and I shook my head and said it was the same fuel....they let everyone by again from what I could see....A lot of head shaking and mumbling. I even pulled the CC receipt out to show that I just purchased the fuel....and I always showed up with a stone empty cell and cleaned it out before I added fresh fuel......I still have the little hand pump syphon I used to draw the fuel out of my cell......

After that I always used C-11 because it always passed. I did not like that fuel for a few reasons but it always passed.
