I've gotten a few emails similar to this, regarding other fuel brands already purchased.    As I said, we are trusting that no one will fill up with a concoction illegal for the class they run, and if you've already bought fuel, you may use it. We would really appreciate it if everyone would utilize our on site provider VP , as they are bringing up a wide varieties of fuels to suit everyones needs that weekend. The point is to always show respect to the local vendors, whether it's hot dogs, fuel, or T-Shirts, it's nice to show our appreciation .

Questions on availability should be directed to Bob Taylor, the VP guy on this topic.
As I stated we 'd prefer our attendees patronizing local vendors, we wish to impress the local economy with our financial input.
Bringing previously purchased fuel is your choice, especially if it's your regular blend and you've tuned for it.

   It can't be sold in Maine don't think there is a problem if you use it. As of last year there are very few stations selling 93 octane gas. Most only sell 91 now for some reason.

I was away for the weekend, so I'm just seeing some of these posts this morning.  It looks like there aren't any outstanding questions, but I want to clarify a couple of points that were touched on above.

I don't mind if you use fuel that you already have.  I will be there with fuel for those who need it. 

I am restricted to only selling fuel in sealed containers, that means 5 gallon increments or 30 and 54 gallon drums.

I will assist tech officials with fuel testing upon request.  Questions concerning fuel legality should be directed to tech officials.

Please contact me directly to pre-order.  207-439-3568

I CAN bring leaded fuel with motor octanes from 96 to 120+

I tried to get VP to supply MR10, but it has been dropped from their product line and they will not make any more.  So, with the MTBE laws as they stand, I cannot bring any of the MR fuels.

For anyone who is interested or thinks that they can help, I've been trying to get an ammendment to the law banning MTBE to allow for racing use only.  I only get one chance a year to propose it to the state through our representative.  If you are a Maine or New Hampshire resident, please let your representative know that this issue is important to you and convince them that you and your fellow racers are responsible enough to keep MTBE contained.

Hello Bob,

I had Bill Taylor autograph my rookie B-ville logbook..How cool is that? cheers

Anyway, by looking at the VP site, I can not determine which leaded VP fuels contain MTBE and which do not, I was looking at VP113 but see from one of your earlier posts that VP113 can not be sold in Maine.

If possible could you post a listing of leaded VP fuels that do not contain MTBE?

Thanks smiley

Fuels that are legal for sale in Maine

Leaded (off-road use only):
MS98L, VP110, C11, 2BBL, C12, C14, C14+, C15, C16, NO2, C23, C25, C44

Unleaded:
Streetblaze100, C10, Motorsport109E

Here's a tip for anyone pouring fuel from our 5 gallon pails: Just like pouring oil out of a plastic bottle, the fuel will come out more smoothly if you pour with the spout at the top so air can flow inside more easily.

Fred, i very much regret that I was soooooo frazzled at the March Texas Mile I did not get to yak with you.

Next time i head down to SA, I will buy you lunch at any joint of your choosing, as long as it meets 2 critical criteria:
1. serves ice cold beer
2. is NOT on the Riverwalk  grin

Fred,

Go down town after dark and you're just liable to get that beating!

Didjya make up your mind yet.  Are you going to make it to Bonneville and Loring?
