87sheerips Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 I have no clue where to find race fuel. I am near kalamazoo MI, which is at the 94 / 131 interchange. Please help me i want to ride this weekend!! Quote
shanYE west Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Try a local oil company. Over here its Karbowski Oil and Knochel Oil. Usually you'll see smaller Transport trucks with a name on the side. Quote

dajogejr Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Dunland @ Silver Lake carries race fuel...btw. Many oil/gas companies have a search for race fuel by your location...as well. http://www.sunocoinc.com/site/Consumer/Rac...ContactRaceGas/ http://www.sunocoinc.com/Site/Consumer/Rac...ap/Michigan.htm http://www.local.com/results.aspx?keyword=...e&radius=50 Quote
shanYE west Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Dunland @ Silver Lake carries race fuel...btw. They tend to be over priced on alot of their fuels.. They want 3.80 a gallon for alky... screw that!.. Quote
dajogejr Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 They tend to be over priced on alot of their fuels.. They want 3.80 a gallon for alky... screw that!.. I agree...but you pay for convenience... Funny thing is, I walked into duneland last October, closing weekend with JT and he paid 2.55 a gallon for meth. like you said, 3.80 is what I paid memorial weekend. But, I just bought a 5 gallon can of VP Meth for 35 bucks...so, it's not that bad... Quote
yfzdunejumper Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Call your local motorcycle shops a lot of them will sell it or try some of your local auto performance/speed shops if they don't sell it they will know were Quote

I called david allen before I bought it to see if it would just be easier to get it there but.... for that price I'll keep a drum in my trailor. So.. if I'm in silver lake the same time anyone is out there and need alky let me know.. I'll sell it for 2.75 gallon Quote
alcoholbanshee Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 Just a thought but I know the Meijer supermarket in my area carries torco 110. Don't know the quality but they have it. I usually buy my fuel(sunoco) from I96 speedway (roundy round track) a few miles from my house. Quote
jayzx10r Posted June 15, 2007 Report Posted June 15, 2007 I don't know what kind of compression you have with 20cc domes or what octane you need for your compression but if pump gas isn't enough for you, I see that there are 3 airports near you that should be able to sell you 100LL avgas that you can run or mix. I'm told it is 110-115 octane fuel. I run 50/50 with my compression and have had no probs so far. Walker airport, off of Avenue D East appears to be closest to you, (thanks GoogleEarth!!) but Boven and Shafter are there as well. GIve them a call... Generally. the smaller airports are the friendliest in selling fuel to you. The airport near me offers 24 hour access to their "self serve" island...just swipe your Discover card...and get 5% cash back!! Nice. Remember...2-strokes LOVE lead!! :thumbsup: Also, Avgas has a 15 month shelf life...an added bonus!! Hope this helps, Jay From SanD. Quote
87sheerips Posted June 16, 2007 Author Report Posted June 16, 2007 Im thinking about getting a 55gal drum. But, i dont know if ill be able to transport it. Can u move it around by yourself and a dolly?? I found a station about 20 minutes from me, but it would cost me a lot to just get there. Quote

Now, i have to get some directions to that airport! Ive heard of the AV gas, maybe ill try it out!. How much a gallon usually?? Ohh, and I have 160-165 lbs compression. So i think i should be fine w/a 50/50 mix Quote
XxMeltIcexX Posted June 16, 2007 Report Posted June 16, 2007 Damn man, i pay $9.25/gal for VP C12 112 and $7.50 for 110, wish i could find it at the prices you all are, alky regardless, thats cheap! I'm in Tucson, AZ. Whats so special about this place that its so expensive? Eric Quote
