When I switch to gen 2 had to re tune my motor but I noticed I got better run time.

I have been happy with this fuel. I have ran it in all my engines with no trouble of any kind.
No tunning issues, temps are good, less smoke and the best part, I am getting 10 minutes runtime(on my local track) on my buggy and my gas truck.
I would say "If you like it, use it. If you don't, then don't use it."
There are way too many variables in tuning and maintaining a nitro engine to simply blame it on the fuel.
Use it or lose it

Byron uses a high quality oil package, along with the best alcohol and nitro, and they have been doing it well for a long long time, the right way. They do OEM too for companies like Mugen. The idea that Byron fuel is causing some issue with your engine is silly. my. 02 
It is possible if your fuel was previously opened, moisture could cause a problem if it was left out or whatever.

If that would be the case I doubt it has happened to the 10-12 racers from different tracks . I`m guessing they got a bad batch as all the fuel these guys were running are from the same hobby shop .

Also, you're getting the same type of replies from your OTHER thread on Rc Universe.

It appears your local hobby shop is the cause of the problem. Not Byrons.
I do find it curious that in this thread you say you witnessed these racers having problems first hand, but on RC Universe you only HEARD of people having problems.

I have burned about 5 gallons of GenII with no problems at all. I was running Nitrotane, and have to say that it is good fuel too. If I cant find GenII again, I will run Nitrotane without hesitation.
Oh yeah, the only problem with Notrotane, is that burns your eyes!!

I dont run it but byrons is the only brand my lhs sells and everybody around here runs gen2 and no one has had any problems with motors going bad or tuning issues, If youre lhs got a bad batch of fuel other shops would have got some of the bad fuel too just not yours

I really have to wonder if all this talk about Gen II being bad is some sort of scam put out by a competing brand. Every few weeks someone comes on here asking if there is a problem with the fuel and everyone says NO. Who are these people having problems? I have been running it all season with no issues. The whole Mugen team was using it at the onroad nats with no issues. No one I know has had any issues. So where are all these rumors coming from? My guess is some dude got a gallon, ran it in a three year old motor on its last legs and it blew up. Now everyone has heard the story.
My new engine will have a different fuel in it.

Tell that to my 3rd V-spec (1st with GenII) that only lasted 2.5 gallons and then replaced with a new p/s and rod and crank and got one gallon. I emailed O.S. and they said they do not recommend Byron's in their motors. Ask them yourself.
