Byrons Gen 2 fuel is awesome! If you cant get Byrons then I would say Werks is a close second.
And I use mugen diff oils and associated shock oils.

I would stay away from the Gen2 Byron's. Myself, and some others have had tuning nightmares with the stuff, and a switch to O'donnell, Trinity or Nitrotane has solved them. Not sure if it was a bad batch or not. I do know many people have had great luck, but I wouldn't risk it.

Also Nitrotane is not a good choice, after a few gallons it will cause the internals of your engine to rust, at first it seems all good, but after a few gallons the internals will have rust, and it can easily cause your rear bearing to go bad, this has happened to me and a few other people I know, and I have heard about it from other people on the web.

I have never had any tuning issues with Byrons, I have used 6 gallons of the Gen 2 fuel and so far each gallon has been as flawless as the last, and I know many other people using it that have never had any issues. I rarely ever have to touch my needles throuhout the day, and alot of the time I can go an entire day without ever touching my needles.

I have had no problems with Gen 2 what so ever.
Some fuels have good anti corrosive agents and little or no castor so you can leave fuel in the motor for months without problems. Of course, high performance fuels usually have more castor and don't waste power by adding non cumbustable agents. With these you need to run the motor dry and add after run oil after each day of racing or rust, gum and varnish will develop quickly.

If you read my post I said some people have had no issues. This is from MY experience, and from a few others in my area. Go into the Wisc./IL forum and looks for a thread called Y-Rock Sleeve pinching. In there you will find pics of a 6 gallon Nova sleeve ran on Nitrotane. No rust.
