i went to get some c-12 but they were out. the closest thing they had was 13 oxygenated,the guy said if it uses 12 the 13-o would be fine but i might want to jet up a little.what do you guys think?

From what I understand, you can't leave it in your fuel cell for more than a week. And I think you have to store it in steel containers. Check the VP website for info.

You can leave it in the tank but put a cap on the vent if it's going to set for awhile so it don't evaporate.I run the q-16 and thats all I do other than jetting carb up 4 jet sizes.

I know a couple of racers that have switched from c-12 to 113 and swear by it.I used c-12 for quite a while,and bought some 113 to test with,but did not get to do back to back testing yet.
I can tell you it is the best smelling race fuel I have ever witnessed.
The racers I know swear it is more consistent and picked them up a solid tenth,and they also jetted up 4 sizes.

Every customer I have talked to who has tried Q16 has made some really solid gains on the track. I want to get some to do some dyno testing with but it's so freaking hard to get VP in my area.

It says right on the Q16 can to drain it between races. That's exactly what we do.
