So if you are running in a fuel class, what percentage of fuel do you have to run to be in the fuel class?
In other words, if you are running say 110 and you put 5% methanol, or even say 2% is that enough to be in the fuel class?
Also,
I know that ERC sells 110 on the salt, do they have other octane readings, such as 120 or 130?
TIA

anything unsealed is fuel class , you don't need to add anything
oh and they have up to ~116 oct like the A8D thats gas compliant

By declaring that you're in fuel class -- you can be in fuel class. No testing, no requirements, no gas class records. If you've got a sealed tank from running in gas and elect to switch to a fuel class -- it's all paperwork and no more. run with the tank sealed, visit impound, get your record certified in fuel class -- still wearing the gas class tank seal.

Check the ERC website on the fuel available. And/or call Rick Gold -- he's a 24-karat (carat?) source.

I just talked with Rick last week - the Gasoline formulas that will be available this year are -
ERC 110K, ERC A-8D (replaces a-8c on website), ERC A-19A, and unleaded ERC MUL/B

In fuel class, if it burns or explodes, you can run it . . . at your own risk . . .

Everything below 75% nitro is still just parts wash. :-D
Above have said it all. When I worked with Dan, all I looked at was the form to see if I needed to check the seal in the gasoline classes or assist the competitor in adding gasoline and resealing the tank.. Good Luck
