I've compiled a series of articles written by "Ted Powell" from "Boatsport" magazines,from the mid 1950's.Ted goes VERY in-depth regarding the make-up of differant fuels used in racing during that time period.However,much of the information is still being used today by racers.They just don't let their competitors know! Three articles were done on the basic make-up of fuels and additives.Then he did several articles on putting the information to actual use in different engine applications.Thanks to "Boatsport" archives for making these articles available to the public thru http://boatsport.org/ .Enjoy!:)
