Pump gas in stock
Is there any way to run pump gas in a Stocker and pass fuel check? I've been running pump gas and it seems to be a little quicker at a 1/3 the price. Thanks.

Re: Pump gas in stock
I use to have s dielectric meter. Fuel check had the range for s particular race gas. I added pump gas to my race gas until it was at the top of scale. This was10 years ago and not sure what meter they use now. But straight pump gad will not pass.

Yes, you can run pump gas…NO , it will not pass fuel check. When I started racing stock eliminator in the late seventies PUMP gas was legal.

Thanks. Fuel check makes 0 sense to me anyway.

Darrel do you have any idea of how many fuel additives that are out there that will increase HP that won't make it pass fuel check. I'm glad they do fuel check. Wouldn't want to loose a heads up race to someone that has spiked their fuel. BP

What was that stuff some were running a few years back? I remember at Indy smelling it as cars were called to the lanes and it even smelled caustic.🤢

Yes pump gas in a low to mid compression engine is faster. I used to get pump gas to pass by pumping air into it like a fish tank. The oxygen would boil off some of the chemicals in the pump gas and it would barely pass. Then NHRA started asking what I was putting in the gas to make it pass, I didn't have the heart to tell them it was what I was removing. Pump gas is no longer "gas " its fuel! There are some many chemicals in it that there isn't enough room for Gas. So the last time I tried to run it and NHRA told me - NO MORE PUMP GAS. Its possible at this point that with all the chemicals in pump gas, maybe NHRA feels that they can't police it. Any way Its a heck of a lot cheaper and it would make sense (economically) to use it, but policing it is probably the root cause for not allowing it. That's pretty much my take from what I experienced in the past. Respectfully, Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA |

Re: Pump gas in stock
I guess it isn’t a big deal. I’ll use pump gas when bracket racing and use race fuel at NHRA events. Thanks for the discussion.
