    Crate fuel?

    I have been racing Nesmith crate late models for most of this season. We have been running on pump gas. We have recently found out that we could run alternative fuels that would increase horsepower! Now for my questions. 1) Will the vp chp fuel run without a return and on a racing block mounted fuel pump with no issues. 2)I have researched these fuels extensively and there appears to be tree alternatives vp chp, vp crate and renegade rat man fuel. The vp crate is supposed to be a drop in replacement fuel with no extra mods other than increasing jet size. Any help would be gfreatly appreciated.

      you do not need a return system for CHP but we do recommend it as a way to help prevent vapor lock

      CHP has a low boiling point and consequently has a habbit of vapor locking

      block mounted pumps work just fine

      you will need to increase jet size to take advantage of the available oygen in the fuel

      give me a call and I can go over some of the specifics

            VP CHP is not legal in Nesmith series at this time. I have had great luck with Base X04. I am able to run a smaller jet and maintain what I consider good HP and fuel mileage. I run consistently in top 5 in Nesmith Touring Series and usually burn 4-5 gallons of fuel in a 40 or 50 lap race.
