Sled pulling fuel???

[snowman]

was looking around on some other forums and stumbled upon a mixture that a guy runs for sled pulling. 5 gallons of diesel, 1qrt straight 30weight, and 1/2qrt gasoline (octane not specified).

how would this make a difference while pulling??

It would diff make higher RPM's but I wouldnt run anything like that in my truck

if "diesel racing fuel" is what you desire Haisley sells a kit it is a 3 part mixture plus diesel

Be careful. It separates from the diesel then things get interesting. IIRC there is a diesel racing fuel called "syndiesel". Higher cetane, better lubricity, more power, etc. Each puller seems to have their own fuel concoction though. We used to run mainly stanadyne with some 2 stroke or ATF with a little diesel. Seemed to work well but made for expensive fill-ups.

I'd figure the lighter wallet would shorten your pull distance

I've heard there is HP to be gained, gotta be careful though as all fuels might not pass tests.

Ive seen guys try it, mostly tractors, few cummins guys, they usually have pile of pistons out back they like to show off to their buddies!

I tried two different types on a engine dyno. Gained 0 with one lost 6 hp with the other. Didnt work with my setup.

It seemed like when they started testing fuel a certain truck didn't do as well. Thats why I was curious. Although he switched the drivetrain to a different chassis, it should have hooked better. One local boy I know mentioned they could make roughly 50 horse extra with a mixed blend on a 2.6 truck. Idk how accurate those numbers were.
