I have a group of Mustang guys that usually buy 4-5 barrels every year. You will save a lot if we can get everything on 2 pallets. I need a barrel, but don’t know if i should go C or Q16. ---

I need a barrel, but don’t know if i should go C or Q16. we can split a barrel if youd like. lemme know. q16 is far superior to c16 imho. higher octane and oxygenated. more consistant fuel. etc. I guess MIR sells Q16 so i should be good for the event. ---

yes the Q16 apears to be very corrosive, you cant even breath near the stuff when its cracked open, however nothing leaks or appears to be getting damaged yet. These are the risks taken when using imho one of the best fuels available. I love this stuff sofar. ---

Another local racer swears by the Q16 and has run an 8.39 on only 284ci. I want to give it a try. Most people that try it, don’t tune for it, as you need to add a lot of fuel with Q over C16.
