Wouldn't it be something, if it turned out that one or more of the cans of fuel wasn't actually 25%?
Thank you so very much for the photos, video and race report. You, Jaap and Eoghain have been the only ones we have been able to count on for this world event.
You guys are the best!!!
Maybe some of the teams are using some additives to the fuel to make more runtime.
This makes you have to lean the needle about one full turn leaner when the additives are added. Then they just turn in the leftover fuel to tech as if they never added anything.
This then contaminates the rest of the fuel that they draw from. This is if they put all the old fuel back into a container to be used again. Seems like they should not use the old fuel again to solve this problem.
