Fuel

[hintonatv]

What has been your experiance with racing fuels? Is it worth the extra $$$??

I ran a blend of C-14 and premuim in my 800 Sportsman this summer and YEAH!! There was a big difference in performance. I also extended my range by 25km's. More power and better milage.

No comments about fuel? Does everyone run pump gas?

I gotta be Honest H-ATV, I just bought the new rig last year and I'm always looking to have my warranty 'kick-in' if the need arises, and one never knows if a 'mod' or change in fuel will result in a 'void-ed' warranty etc. That being said...just what is C-14 all about ie: cost/performance/savings etc...?

hintonatv, I run a 50/50 mix of high test pump fuel and C12 race fuel with the oil pre-mixed.

I am curious about what is being used in sleds and quads. I am now an authorized dealer for VP Racing Fuels. I have placed my first order based on what a few guys in Hinton are running in thier sleds. Most use the C-12 straight up or blended with premium pump gas. One customer with a turbo charged sled is wanting the VP-110. I would like to know what people have been useing so I can stock the right stuff.
I brought in some Ultimate 4.2. (U4.2). Motocross Action magazine gave it a 5-star rating. In a full-page review in the October issue, the editors described VP’s U4.2 racing fuel as "instant horsepower," offering “tremendous energy potential. (Compared to pump gas) Peak horsepower...jumped a full horsepower (on a dirt bike!) from 7000 rpm all the way to sign off.” Few if any jetting changes are required and there is an improved smell. They claim a 6% gain in horsepower. So with a 50hp. engine you should gain a full 3 HP. Your going to feel that!
Racing fuel is an inexpensive way to gain horespower and as far as I know will not affect a warrantee. (I'm looking into that)
I'm going to be trying the U4.2 in my 800 Sportsman this weekend. I am expecting big results!

For more info about racing fuel and what type would work best for you go to www.vpracingfuels.com. Check it out. If you have any other questions just ask!

I am selling VP Fuel by the 208l barrel, 19l pail or in bulk by the liter. You can bring your own gerry can or I can sell you a 19l VP bottle for about $35.00.

What is the result of the 50/50 mix? Are you happy with the performance? Is it worth the $$$$?? What are you using for 2 stroke oil?

I may be in the wrong thread here, I'm burning the mix in a sled.
It's ported, polished,piped with high compression so I have no choice but to run the mix. It works great.
