prubin is infamous around these parts
Correct, there is NO lead in C10:

C10
The best non-oxygenated unleaded racing gasoline available. It meets ASTM D-439 standard specifications for automotive gasoline and is street-legal in most states. C10 does not contain any metal compounds and will not harm catalytic converters or oxygen sensors. Used by national champions in SCCA and IMSA stock classes.

Thanks Prubin,

I'm looking for dispensing from a pump near to my residence.


In my drag racing days I had C12 , C16, and methanol in 55 gal. drums in my race car/race car hauler building. It was 300 feet from the house. 20 years later, I live in a gated community on an acre of land and my wife is not going to allow 55 gallon drums of race fuel in our garage. I'm looking for the best no-lead, pump-dispensed fuel close to my home in Duluth, GA. Road Atlanta is 25 minutes from me, and has the afore-mentioned 98 octane Sunoco. I'm looking for the convenient 104 at my neighborhood grocery, Any suggestions?

Tnx,

Al

Hmm could be leaded or unleaded. I know c16 (116 oct) is leaded here, there are other variants to, 110 which is leaded and another place that has 110 that isnt?!

From my pump 93 to 116 mic it only made a minimal power diff, i dont have a flashloader or race file though and no cats!

iLLM3.

Never heard of anyone producing 110 R+M/2 sans lead. Would love to know who produces that product, plus attendant research data for "cat" endowed engines. Can I get it at my local QT?

As to the minimal 93 to 116 difference, that could all relate to lack of a program to accommodate the 116 (actually 117, I think.) If you "don't got the pro", you "don't get the go." No cats are certainly a plus for the 116/17. Hope you're in a non-emisisons-testing county.

Best regards,

Al

Al i am in New York and dont worry about emissions testing I will find out which gas they use or where they get it from, its from a local Gufl gas station. He said its a jet fuel mix or something stupid?! Highly doubt that!

BTW yea my program didnt allow any big change, you are correct!

iLLM3,

BTW, never put anything in your car related to jet fuel. Jet A is first cousin to kerosine. Back in my flying days, I was able to get 100 LL from my local FBO (Fixed Base Operator) who was hangering my airplane. It didn't do much good in my race car.

Your guy is seriously confused.

Regards,

Al

Jet fuel is basically kerosene with some blending agents in it. Not something you want to put in your car.

Aviation fuel (avgas) is also an extremely bad idea to run in a car.

Here's Sunoco's GT100 station finder. I have to drive ~50 miles to get mine. Stupid turbochargers, anyway.

Simba,

Tnx for the locator. Says Road Atlanta has it, but the only unleaded they have is Sunoco 260 which is 98.
