I don't know but the SCTA Rule book seems clear to me....
1.U FUELS:
FUEL CLASSES: In fuel classes, any approved liquid fuel
may be used. Examples of approved fuels are all alcohols
and ethers, hydrogen, nitromethane blends, nitrous oxide,
E85 and unapproved gasoline.

GASOLINE CLASSES:
The SCTA defines gasoline to contain no nitrogen-bearing
compounds, no propylene oxide, no ethylene oxide, and no
more than 10% methanol. The contest board may choose
any test or combination of tests to assure that liquid fuels
used in GASOLINE classes comply with these specifications.
The tests may include, but will not be limited to, testing for
the dielectric constant (D.C.) value, color comparisons, specific
gravity, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and/
or other testing methods. The addition of compounds containing
oxygen, such as ethanol, methanol and other oxygenates,
may produce a mixture with a D.C. greater than
15.0 as measured with a Kavlico Model FT-K01 or equivalent
as measured with a Digatron DT-64 ?DC Meter? zeroed
on reagent grade, pure CYCLOHEXANE. 15.0 is the current
SCTA acceptable dielectric ceiling. Most gasoline will check
under this ceiling.
At a NON-?EVENT GASOLINE? meet, any gasoline that measures
15.0 or less on the Kavlico meter or the equivalent on
the Digatron meter and meets all other SCTA requirements
will be allowed.
All liquid gasoline blends can be tested and certified to have
a specific D.C., color, specific gravity, and other chemical
properties. All gasoline that is tested and meets the SCTA
definition of gasoline may be allowed on a case by case
basis by the SCTA Contest Board. It is recommended that
unknown gas be submitted to the SCTA and checked before
use in competition.
EVENT GASOLINE:
If the Contest Board establishes ?EVENT GASOLINE? or
"EVENT DIESEL" fuels, those fuels shall be used for record
attempts where required by class rules. A gasoline may be
approved that does not meet the simple 15.0 or below as
measured on the Kavlico meter or equivalent as measured
on the Digatron meter if the SCTA Contest Board receives
proof from a reliable, certified source that the gasoline in
question meets the SCTA definition of gasoline.
Water injection is allowed. The water tank shall be inspected
and sealed prior to each record run.
When a specific class is not available, engines using LPG,
natural gas or diesel fuel will compete in the equivalent
gasoline class. Diesel fuels may also be tested.
EVENT DIESEL FUEL:
If the SCTA Contest Board establishes an "EVENT DIESEL"
fuel, that fuel shall be used. USDA designated Food Grade
19
Vegetable Oil from a sealed container may be substituted
for, or used in combination with EVENT DIESEL fuel. If
no EVENT DIESEL fuel is established, then the competitors
may supply their own fuel and it shall be tested in the
same manner as gasoline for additives. Water injection is
allowed. The water tank shall be inspected and sealed prior
to each record run.
