can of worms but here goes....

anything in the current bunch of fuels works well,however ive seen a few cases where the byrons gen2 fuel has been different from bottle to bottle.

we used the gen2 and it was good stuff but find the odonnells more consistent across batches

i would say 95% of people do,some use 30% but i cant tell a difference,we certainly have more than enough power on 25%.

If Stu tunes it, you won't get ultimate power but it'll never blow up and last for ages!

Byron Gen2 30%. From Gallon to Gallon i make no adjustments on the carb settings. Easy to see how much fuel you've got left in a tank after a run with the colour. Won the BRCA nats so must be good . If i couldn't get Byron i'd get O'donnel as that seems to be good and a lot of people use it too

From Kazakhstan there is time when we sneak border to China for their ractime. In China they have the meeting when there is more racers than 10 at each track (China is the big time). We wait when drivers are on track and we fill the container with the fuel from little all the bottles, then it is all the same.

We have this for the race – it is good.

Yes?
