I have a tin of 25% from 2 years back. Opened it up last week and it still works. These are good stuff.
True Hkboy! Except we received 3 shipments to meet demand and have a 4th shipment on the way.

True as well Rick. Mr. Tong of RC1 Racing and I thank you for your expertice!.
Greg had an open can lost in his garage for about three years and it was still good! He lives in a 4 seasons climate. Tornado fuel is proven to be the best.

There you go!

Thank you all for using tornado products.

Note: Quite a few drivers have been switching to tornado from other brands.
The most common responses are, "It feels crisper", "The engine came to life" and "I'm making run time and I have more power... It doesn't make sense!"
There are more, but I'll let you read them on Mike Myers Starting Grid. I have asked drivers of all levels to write comments of their experiences. Those are coming soon. If you have any more thoughts or questions on the fuel, feel free to post them here.
