Also we have to change the seals in the pumps every year as the alcohol causes them to dry out and start to leak. The one bonus to having the race shop is that we also have a Leaded 110 race fuel in another 2000 gallon underground tank that I use to mix into the fuel in my Army trucks. It is a non ethonal based gas and the lead helps for these old vehicles. The look on someones face as you are filling up with 110 race gas in an old Army truck is priceless, especially when they ask you how much horsepower it's got?
