Heck, they could out the word "racing" on the laxative bottle and sell more of it?

They could put a brown "racing" stripe on the bottle too.

It's not what I would call a proper racing fuel anyway, that stuff don't work when you start pushing things.

I've always used Byron's Gen2, so I'll take your word about O'Donnell. I'm not inclined to change fuel brands anyway, the stuff I'm using now works fine for me.

There must be an additive in the O'Donnell fuel that chemically polymerizes the castor oil, because that brown sticky surface is exactly what happens when castor oil polymerizes.
