c16 is the blue of blue rasberry blowpops. The 112 was always orange but maybe it’s purple now. I haven’t cracked a drum yet.
Different companies use different color fuels and I’m sure there’s plenty of overlap so that doesn’t tell you much. You can send fuel out for testing but if it’s been sitting around longer than you can remember I really hope it’s totally sealed and hasn’t seen any light. If there’s a vent hole on the container and it’s from last summer it has dropped octane noticeably. Of course the testing would tell you that so if you have enough laying around that it’s worth the cost of having it tested, go for it.
ill stick with c16, maybe one day mike will order some of it in. i know anyone that goes and gets tuned at evans on race gas will need it. so order it in
They don’t sell C16. They only sell C12 which is also leaded.
And quit telling people to buy things elsewhere in MY sale thread. I’d never pull a stunt like that in your sale threads. Why are you in here anyways? (rhetorical)
Tial 44’s are all leaded gas safe. It’s the 38’s you have to specify lead safe when you order.
Every fuel is different and they don’t give out a timetable on this since there are several factors at play. Sunlight is a major player so don’t use translucent containers. Any container actually designed for gas should be opaque.
The other main issue is it being sealed. I keep the drums sealed to avoid degradation, and only open one at a time to pump out and then I re-seal it.
Most portable gas containers have a vent. Those with popoff valves which vent excess pressure only as needed would be optimal, but if you keep gas away from heat and sunlight and leave room for expansion in the container, sealing it shouldn’t be an issue (disclaimer - I said shouldn’t be…).
