Some good tech info on using/mixing race fuel....
« on: August 10, 2014, 06:52:09 PM »
I came across this Sunoco Race Fuels sight while doing some research on mixing race fuel to achieve a desired octane rating. I just thought some of you might find it useful. I know I did. There are plenty of full articles here, so make sure to click on the "Read More" link for more information.

Doug: many thanks for that handy link...for some time I've been in the habit of mixing in Sunoco race gas with pump premium as a form of anti-knock insurance. This takes all the guess work out of it.

Michael, I'm glad you found it handy. I did as I was researching mix ratios for my Mach 1, just for some anti-knock insurance as you do. I also found the articles about Specific Gravity interesting, and how it affects timing and tunes. Being straight from the source of a race fuel maker, it takes all the "opinions" out of the equation and just gives you facts.
