Sam brought up a point I have been looking at for a few months now, this being the fuel rules.
4. Digatron DT-47FT Fuel Tester
This test is used to detect the presence of illegal oxidizers in a fuel mix. It does this by comparing the
fuel being tested to a known sample in which the instrument has been zeroed. The presence of illegal
additives will cause the instrument to read a positive number. The positive reading is proportional to the
amount of additives in the fuel. We have expanded the usable range of this test to allow readings from
fuel containing methanol.
this taken from ABPA rule book.
Does anyone in the audience have a test showing that oxidizers significantly increase performance in a stock outboard?
I'm very curious here, as in CA, we use 3 different fuel blends with free to be, you and me, woe is me hug a tree mixes. there are times, when this is all you get....Seems to me, that unless it can be shown the oxidizers raise performance, at least out here in the land of fruits and nuts, we could save a whole bunch of grief by easing up on this rule....
Input anyone>?
