Default Race gas...

Alright what the fuck color is Sunoco 116 (C16)

and what color is cam2????

I get tuned in MD with a blue color gas that is supposed to be C16

then I buy (supposedly) c16 from Abacus and this shit is Red

then I get told cam2 is blue and c16 is Red and its been that way for years, then of course I hear it the other way around

fyi...

anyone want to verify before I have a problem with detonation b/c I might be running a gas thats 7 points lower than what I expect it to be !?

cam2 is a clear blueish color
I thought c16 was a pinkish redish color, not 100% sure on that but I got a big whiff of it at bushur racing and I think he said it was c16

hrm, seems like my experience doesn't line up with what that site says,

Cams in Glouster
Jrs car shop ( when hes got it)
I believe but am not sure on the red, I think its 112 or lower, I had a 55 galon drum of 116 and thats all I use. Its blue always has been. I also pay 7.5 a gallon, and if its 112 or red it has to be like 4.50 a gallon.

either way sounds like the guy was an idiot.

Now wheather or not theres diffrent color 116 I doubt, its always been blue. Its also leaded and bad for cars with O2 sensors and cats, and in most cases unless you got some high compression or boost will usually slow you down..especially 116. burns alot cooler, I had a fuel leak about a gallon on my hot headers and it did not burn, 93 I would have burnt the car down.

Oh yeh, you wont ever find 116 in anything but a drum...Not at any pump, at any gas station, except track maybe.
