Diesel Racing Fuel

[paint94979]

is there a special blend that some trucks run? I read in an old issue of DP there was a write up about Dodge and they ran a blend of 2% Bio Diesel, I don't remember what else was used but other things were added. can a racing blend be purchased? or does everyone just run #2?

There is synthetic diesel that is made from natural gas. Someday I will dyno it. Someday.

Im gonna order some and give it a try. I wonder of even mixing this diesel with normal #2 would work well? But no Sulfur? I assume they have other additives that replace the need for sulfur correct?

ULSD is 15 ppm or less. I doubt you would notice it being gone.

I sure like the extra kick I get out of PowerMaster 405.

I will see if I can find the invoice. But, it's been sitting back there for almost 1 year I would guess. So I'm sure it's not even close to being accurate.

Edit here is a link looks like $350 for a 55 gallon drum plus shipping

130$ for 15 gallons plus shipping, shipping to CA is probably 50$

Looks like it's free I just went through the checkout to see how much it would be since it's hazmat and it said 0.00 for shipping total $130.00

The stuff Pat bought 55 gal of Bio and 55 gal of Syndiesel was a total of $749 with shipping. I was wrong it's only been sitting here since Nov. :rofl:

I read through it and it says you will be given a shipping by phone once you have purchased the fuel. IIRC it said between 200$-250$ shipped to CA for a 55 gallon drum

come on Jason lets each order a drum. if we order a pallet we get a discount lol

Bump up the other thread - there were many people interested in it and you could split it up to save on shipping.

Thats where someone chimed in with his big rig and hauling a full 53' trailer full of it

it seems that if your going to buy this fuel the way to do it is get the 55 gallon drum. the price is 350$ plus 25% off. at the price its 8.66$ a gallon if you bought the 15 gallon size, 6.30$ a gallon for the drum plus the 25% discount.
