Race fuel vs octane boost for turbo

I think L.B (lazy Bastard)should change his name to (large Brain) That would better decribe him, dont you think.

LB you sound very intelegent especially for a sledder. Are you in the chemical field or maybe a teacher? If you are a hobo come to WI and I'll put you to doing real work. :wink:

This is the stuff I (actually) remember from first year chemistry.

I'm curious as to how to control the diesel fuel in really cold temps. Last year in Ontario, we had a new Ram diesel that needed a good thaw after some -30* nights, they had forgotten to use the anitfreeze stuff though...How are all these things going to affect a sled?

Well, it WILL make it somewhat harder to start, but remember that it wouldn't be usable in pure form... just a bit to make the fuel a *little* harder to burn. Thats the neat thing about fuel. Ask most people on the street and they think that high octane fuel burns easier... they just don't get it that the purpose of high octane fuel is that its HARDER to burn.

You're right on that count. My question though, is if the diesel fuel will stay suspended enough to not get in th bottom of th tank during cold days of sitting?

 

[LazyBastard]

It shouldn't separate - its a solvent/solute relationship between gas and diesel, plus, no matter how cold it gets (except for 0K), there will always be some motion going on to keep it mixed.
