Yeah, I don't entirely enjoy it, and maybe it's just me, but I get a serious headache from sustained exposure to the vapors. On another forum, I help compile a list of nearest e85 stations to race tracks, so while some are a quick 5 minute trip, some are closer to an hour. I try to fill the trailered car up on the way to the track, and then do a fuel run to fill up my 4x 5g after the day's racing is done. I had thought ahead enough (very unlike me) to get a flex fuel Tahoe, so I can easily, happily, and moderately safely drive home, dumping whatever unused fuel into it, and tossing the empty jugs back in my POS s550.Paddyprix i for 1 would never transport full jugs of race gas inside my car. Ever.
Knew of a guy who transported oxy/acetylene tanks inside car let's say he's different now.alive but.
Simple...I did drive my Viper and road tripped it out there with the NorCal Viper club. I think we had at least 15 cars in our caravan. The fuel wasn't specifically for me, it was just in case some of our other Viper brothers ran short. Some of the cars were older and I don't trust old fuel gauges or human judgment as people can have brain farts. As you know, there isn't a gas station on every corner when going from Reno to Winnemucca and then from Winnemucca to Salt Lake City. Having an extra five gallons meant the caravan wasn't stuck on the side of the road waiting for AAA or some road service to show up should someone have miscalculated their fuel usage. I don't leave anything to chance when I have to rely on others.Now TrackAire, I am wondering why you carried 5 gals in your Viper when you went to the Viper Gathering in Salty Pond, You Taw?
I drove my ACR all the way home from there ( because my Motorsport's Director had trouble with his highly modified Snake and we ended up loading it in my trailer ) and I got 26.5 miles per gallon. Not sure why you needed to go commando to get home in Cali, ha?
Good chance we know each other , as the Viper Community is pretty small with only a bit over 33,000 ever built.
