Is your supplier using one pump???? Read inside

[turbo nasty]

It maybe posted but i dont recall seeing it.

Recently a couple of us here local had our pumps start leaking. I sent mine in to get rebuilt...which by the way ...thanx to Julio for a quick turn around time and great service as always.

When talking with razor he asked if the guy where I was getting my fuel was using the same pump for all the fuels...116, 112, meth, etc.
Went on saying that if he was, then the methanol drum is contaminated and the gas/lube traces in the meth swells the pump and kills the pump over time.

Low and behold yep..our place uses the same pump for all the fuels.

So we now order it in 5 gallon containers. Since the guy "thinks" its ok and the seal in the pump "cant be swelling" from that. LOL

Actually tell him the gasoline mixed with methanol shrinks the seal.. thats why the leak happens.

Most race cars that run on straight methanol wash their fuel systems out after a race and use gasoline to do so. So mixing fuels in that type of application is not an issue.

Not the same scenario when you have a kit.
