BTDT... They wouldnt sell me anything less than a 55 gal drum. Itd take me years to use 55 gallons at the rate Im going. However, there are several places that sell race gas in smaller quantities (5 and 30 gallon) shipped to your door since a coworker buys methonal from an on line source and they sell race gas (cant recall who it is but I can ask this weekend). A google search will prolly turn up several pages of vendors if you cant wait that long.

main thing on that is shipping. i *think* that PMI sells VP (or can get it) i will ask him and Hutcheson petroleum when the rep is by the shop this week.

i usually just go to the speedway and get it myself


or run AVgas.

(although i dont own a car that needs it anymore. could run it in the metro )

I too would like to know where to buy C-16.

What fuel will the new Blackburg track be selling?

Couple years back, Pro-line would see me about 7 gallons at a time, but I had to PAY for it!!! I think I ended up paying about $2 per gallon extra for them to do that. He may have been hooking me up, may not have. I have known Kenny for years, but wouldnt consider myself a Die-hard pro-line customer.

With all the fuel that Nopi Outlaw Import of yours will burn, you should just step up and install a pump at your house. Good luck this year!!!

Another thing is being able to store it legally. We have a hazardous material storage licnese here at the shop. We buy our methanol for our karts 110 gallons at a time, and they bring it to our door. Come to think of it, I think we can get C16 from the same people. I'll have to check....

I am in the process of pulling the motor to be built. I plan on going back with a stronger piston, stainless rings, billet rods and ARP fasteners. I placed an order Monday for a 2.4 Kenne Bell Can't wait to get things going!!!

Know of any place in the NOVA area that has race fuels for cheap? Me and a friend plan to pick up a drum this summer just to have on hand.
