I don't think so... Open fuel can not use Oxygenates.... I don't have a rule book in front of me, but that was always the rule...

Most orgs have a stipulation that you cannot use oxygenated fuel. Not sure what the reasoning is. Many people shy away from it because it burns so fast you loose some of your jetting "cushion".

From what I understood there were a couple of issues... Number one was safety of the tech guy, those additives are carcinogenic, and number two, the didgitron test doesn't do much with oxygenated fuel.

If you do run it the extra oxygen will lean out your jetting. Therefore you would have to go to larger jets. Say your trying 10% oxygenated fuel you would want to increase your jetting by 10%.

I was looking for fuel and ran across that jetting info on Sunoco's site. I would not have a clue on ignition curve.

That's a VERY general rule, it doesn't always apply....

Sure, VERY general.

Just use moth balls! One per 16 ozs of fuel and the sniffer wont detect it! You can run propylene oxide too but not sure about the sniffer test! Back in the day, I ran up to 8 oz's per gallon! Wink
