c12 fuel

dreth · February 17, 2005, 03:31:29 AM

do they sell such a thing down here? we have a fellow rider coming down from pennsylvania for a week of riding and needs to purchase some. he will be staying in opopaka

Hollywood · February 17, 2005, 03:45:12 AM

If I am not mistaken that is the same as VP12, Cam2, Sunoco 110 etc. It should be able to be had at about any speed shop. Scooter or Mike should know where to find some in Apopka....I think that's what you meant never heard of opopaka!??!

C-12 is way different,but there is a place in orlando that does sell it,i love that gas

c-12 is a VP fuel

C12
The best all around racing fuel made. Recommended for CRs below 15:1, satisfying the needs of 75% of today's race engines. One of the winningest fuels in racing history, including Modified Tour, GNN, D.I.R.T., Indy Lights, NHRA, AMA as well as other local and national championships across the U.S. and around the world.

• Color: Green
• Motor Octane: 108
• Specific gravity: .717 at 60° F

Hollywood · February 17, 2005, 04:03:26 AM

Well what makes it so different/better??? cheaper? I see it's 108 and not 110 but what's the difference?

Hoosier Daddy · February 17, 2005, 04:55:26 AM

ONE IS "MOTOR" OCTANE AND THE OTHER IS "R+M/2" METHOD (WHAT YOU SEE AT THE GAS PUMP).
ITS PRETTY CONFUSING VP110 IS REALLY 107 "MOTOR" OCTANE.. READ VP'S WEB SITE IT WILL EXPLANE IT BETTER THAN I COULD...

Hollywood · February 17, 2005, 04:59:34 AM

So really other than octane there is no major differance except maybe price. lol Right?

Hoosier Daddy · February 17, 2005, 05:07:33 AM

well there is lead differences, cooling effect, and im sure some other stuff VP does that they keep to themselves.
VP110 is a good "allaround" fuel. I run U2 but its oxygenaided and $65 for a 5 gallon pail! VP110 is about 5.50-6.00 per gal.

LE450-RACER#77 · February 17, 2005, 07:09:45 AM

YES C12 IS THE BEST ALL AROUND RACE FUEL & IT RUNS ABOUT 6.50 - 7.00 A GALLON. CYCLE SPORTS CENTER IS NOW SELLING IT & THAT IS PRETTY CLOSE TO APOPKA. THE NEXT CLOSEST PLACE IS AUTO SHOP RACING OFF HANGING MOSS ROAD IN ORLANDO. THAT IS OUT TOWARD THE AIRPORT.

LTZ400ApK · February 17, 2005, 04:27:46 PM

i agree Vp is the stuff to run,C-12 to Sunoco 110 is like comparing a Vette to a U-go,It really wakes your motor up
