How common is it to get a bad batch of fuel. I started thinking about this and here is what I have come up with. If you remember my first post when I started having problems I stated that the week before it was perfect during practice and had zero problems breaking it in and running it during a practice session.

I started having problems on race day two Saturdays ago and have had problems ever since. Two Saturdays ago is when I bought a brand new gallon of fuel. In fact I didnt even show up with the last gallon that I had becuase I used it all up during the practice that I had when it ran great.

Since the get go of this new gallon of fuel I have had problems. I also started thinking about my sons 1.0 during race day. I had his buggy set up perfect and it flammed out a couple of times during the races which never happend to me in the past before handing it down. I also had to play with his idle in between races as it was higher than normal. I also had to replace a glow plug in his that was fairly new. We were both using the same new gallon of fuel.

Jaz and everyone else, this could be it. I am hoping that this is the problem but questioning how often this could happen. I am going to order some stuff online to test it. If I buy another gallon from hobby town I could possibly run into the same problem if it is a bad batch. At least this is one other thing that I can eliminate if its not the problem.
