I wnet out today and was going to switch fuels. from top fuel 20% to trinity plantinum 30%, and it wouldnt start when I changed them. I first ran 2 tanks of the old stuff and then went to switch and it ouldnt start.
I heated the engine up with a hair dryer and still would not start up.
can it be that it is too cold to switch fuels.
if so should I wait till I get to the track to switch fuels?
thanks, kevin

yep 30% trinity plantinum. get that man.
I used to run 20% top fuel and in the grass i couldnt do donuts, but that all changed when i switched to platinum 30% I would turn the steering and pull the throttle all the way back and it wouldnt stop doing donuts.
it seemed to take off a lot faster and more horsepower.

yup. its not a dramatic change in horsies but is enough to spin out your truck on short grass or pavement.

runs cooler (yes cooler), idles better, more rpm, and it gets to rpm faster with 30%
There is no reason to run anything under 30% ever IMO.
