IKF---Fuel is to be gasoline with no additional additives.
Simon, the W/F is a 9to1 moter using 91 fuel. Pump gas has 10%shine in it and needs a differant mixture (small) than race gas.

Thanks scoots, I don't have any 91 race gas, but I have 98, so I can throw that in there to get the thing fired up.

Sorry for the tardy reply Simon. I always use plain old pump gas. As Scoots said, per IKF rules it should JUST be gas with no additives. That only comes into play when you are road racing where they tech the gas. After getting dinged once Terry Ives said I should just get my gas at the track. Funny thing about that is, the first time I did that I STILL got dinged. But then again everyone else who bought gas at the track that day did as well. LOL
For our normal NFRA racing I just stop at the Chevron station on the way to the freeway and pick up some 89. You'll see some sources say you should be running 93 but that isn't really available around here for the most part. 9:1 isn't exactly what you'd call a high compression engine. I had Terry take a look at both of my motors a couple months ago and running 89 (sometimes 87) causes no adverse effects.
