toplube?

is it a good idea to run any kind of toplube in the alcohol?seen it advertised but never heard about it being used.....thanks.....

 

as long as you dont have to pass fuel checks

 

mostly good

Most racers I have talked to have good success with top lube to inhibit corrosion. Some previous posts on this forum mentioned some accumulation over time.
The reason NHRA and IHRA do not allow it in fuel checks is they cannot distinguish between power enhancing additives (illegal) and top lube in their tests. So you are stuck with the mostly pure stuff for the national and divisional class racing.

lube

we run it in our boat but we do not have fuel checks it is from what I have been told to help to cushion the valves like lead and lube the guides other than that I do not know but I do know if you are running for a record do not have it near the fuel tank just my 2 cents

 

I failed a fuel check one time because we got WD-40 in the fuel from when we flushed the system the night before. Thankfully we were able to buy another drum that was fresh before the next qualifying pass. If you are running NHRA sanctioned events I would be very careful with letting anything near your fuel including water. Dave Germain

 

Miles. For what classes that we run there is no fuel check. My boss is not good at keeping up on the fuel system so we use manhatten oil top lube with sent and well as a small bottle of sent for the kids. Helps with the life of the fuel pump, Barrel valve, Check valves basicly any metal part that moves that dose not get lubed. You can get it through summet racing or your local speed shop. See ya
