Very bad fuel according to the "Important statement" on the Novarossi site.:lol:

Man now I want to know. :weird:

Maybe one with very little oil?

oil that's the stuff that stops two strokes from going bang I though oil was cheaper than ///bang

I heard he was running kosmic fuel however all the photos I've seen has an MLC fuel can on the table! Whatever it was Novarossi certainly wasn't happy about it - but they refuse to tell what is was! Not particularly helpful NR!

I'd like to know if anyone else had issues running the same fuel!!!

marco vanni was using RUNNER TIME fuel. Some 1/8 offroad racers had similar problems so the problem was in the fuel, maybe wrong oil, as bearings suffered catastrophic problems.

Maybe just a bad batch?

Runner Time is usually a good fuel. I've ran it before without any issues...

The bad batches is the actual problem.

There shouldn't be such a thing as a bad batch. Mixing fuel is anything but rocket science and if you buy good raw materials, the chances that you are going to have a bad batch are very slim.

I had very expensive problems with both fuel brands and since I went back to making my own fuel, everything is peaches and cream again.

Why would anyone use fuel they don't normally run? Cause it was free? Paid to use? Did he normally run this fuel? :confused:

Roelof 02-28-2014 06:06 AM

Runnertime is normally one of the best fuels on the market so the choise is easily made. But yes, as Stefan mentioned, there is nothing better and more consistant than mixing your own fuel.

Anyone else thinks its suspect a brand new name is saying what fuel he ran?!?! :weird: I was there and never even saw anything outside of Byrons, Kosmic, VP, Tornado, and Maxys. Idk why he would run that fuel when all the other on-road blends were available to him (probably for free as well). Nova originally pointed the finger at MLC and then retracted their statement

Read this before blaming a brand.

Why it was updated , who is to tell???????

DS Motorsport 03-03-2014 09:39 AM

I'm pretty sure he didn't ran either one of the fuels mentioned.
These are European fuels and, as far as I know, not available in the US.
I don't think he will go through the trouble of importing a couple cans of fuel for just one race.
