C11 and C12 in fuel check

[Rory McNeil]

Don`t know how much heat, humidity, etc effects the sample, but I have had C12 from a 2 year old drum pass no problem, yet several years ago, I bought 10 gallons of C12 from the VP truck at Seattle, and the following weekend, at fuel check at Sonoma, the guy doing the testing, said that the fuel I had bought one week prior, was borderline. I have to think the drums of fuel taken to the National Events, should be pretty fresh. Go figure.

I have never had C-12 fail fuel check even if it was left in the cell for several months. I did run C-11 for a time but didnt have a good source for it. I also tried Sunoco but always seemed to have difficulties at fuel check with the Sunoco Blue fuel. I didn't see any difference between C-12 and C-11 except in my wallet.

Marty: We've never had a problem with C-12 in fuel check. We've been purchasing it in 5-gallon cans for several years directly from a VP dealer.

I have bought C11 in a 5 gallon can and have been bounced
a couple times the next week. The C12 - never an issue!

Every time I had my fuel checked (C11) at Sonoma they told me it was borderline but never had that issue at Vegas. I'm sure it was the same tech guys, maybe it was the altitude.
