VP racing fuel
- Thread starter georgy
- Start date
Burn it in your car....cars are much more tolerant to old gas. I'd cut it perhaps with 50-75% fresh gas each fill up, but it'll save you some $$ every fill up at least.
(Edit: If it's one of the leaded VP options, or a premixed 2 stroke option, disregard above advice!)

You can still burn it but it won't make the power it used to. I burned 1/2 a drum of U4.4 and had no idea when it was opened with no ill effects.
Think there is any benefit running it over regular gas?
If someone wants to come by and pick it up, it's theirs. I don't really want to bother with taking it out of the drug and putting it into my car...I haven't even been on the bike this year.
Maybe? Do you just open the barrel each time or is there a pump that's sealed on it? If it's been sealed up well it's probably ok but the only way to really know is try running the old stuff on the Dyno with pump or new VP. I wouldn't just waste it though, you paid for it so you might as well burn it.
Oh and I forgot to address this. DO NOT DO THIS! Let him come get it and use it in his car lol.
No pump, but it has a air tight seal on it.
Unless its its a leaded fuel (yes, should have checked, OP can you verify?), and since he has a 4 stroke bike (so again, assuming it's not a premixed 2 stroke VP he has, aka...no oil in the drum), it's likely just high octane unleaded which can be used in a regular gas engine without any issues except for perhaps some reduced power due to the lower BTU's.
But yes, I'll admit...if it's a leaded option, bad idea. I'll edit my response to clarify.
I'd use it no questions.
It'll be leaded unless it's T4 (I believe it's lead free) if it's mr12 it's low octane. Best not to use race fuel in a car not because of the octane but because it's most likely leaded.
Fair enough. I agree, leaded in modern car = issues.
Now, if someone has a classic floating around....

It's yours if you want it.
zenice guy asked first, if he doesn't come get it on Saturday, I'll let you know.
I'll pm you my cell, call or text me.
