We tested c-16 and it came out to 3.5 on an allowable 15.0 . even with temp changes it was nowhere near the limit. the oxygenated vp fuels are different and read higher than the max for the gas class.

Here is a list of dielectric constants for a lot of gasolines.

Your best bet is to ask at tech inspection before the race. If they have seen the fuel before then they can tell you. If not, they can test it before you race it.

ERC Racing Fuels is the supplier for Bonneville and a number of other races. They list all the info on their web site. No other fuel supplier has the info that ERC does that I have found. ERC supports us and you should support them.

The most important thing is not to contaminte it or combine any fuels. They will normally send the meter used over the top especially with normal pump gasoline......Good Luck
