I was a VP fuel dealer several years back. Just want many to know that VP is not a raw fuel refinery...They are a chemical Mixing company..they get the raw fuel and add their chemical...NOT TRYING TO MAKE THIS SOUND AS BAD THING...but I personally would NOT try and breath anything they mix directly..there is NO telling what they are adding or how much of it..they are in buiness to make power using chemicals to raw fuel..Think about it.

If your class racing where fuel is checked please make sure the VP fuel your using will pass....many have failed using VP products due to chemical additives.

I use to sell to round track guys that would cheat up when they knew fuel wasn't being checked..The deep pocket sponsors would purchase a 54 gallon drum of C-44 for $2,500( 10 years ago)...the fuel would put 2/10ths on the field per lap on a well set up healthy car with experienced driver..this meant lapped cars in a matter of laps..the smart drivers would pedal it and let it breath on the back and front straights in efforts not to be so obvious.

I agree with Mark...wash out your fuel system after using ANY methanol product..run some racing gas thru the fuel system to keep down corrosion and wash away the grainy stuff methanol leaves around
