yeah.... it would have to be a conspiracy against you... at least a few people.. just think of planning that out so you would not get caught.. it would take at least 4 people

A small amount shouldn't give the 4runner problems, but leaded fuel can give new cars problems. If your wife's car was low on gas when you added it, the engine/cat/sensors would see a pretty straight dose of lead. Also, Goose said he was gonna bring you a different fuel from C-12 and see if you could tell a difference. Maybe it's just different than what you're used to. The fuel I run doesn't smell anything like regular race gas. Who knows.:thinking:

yeah, most likely something was added to it to make it bad, but I still don't see one of our group doing it. Maybe one of the locals was pissed about the jet skiing and wanted to make a statement, but that too is highly unlikely IMO

That, actually, sounds pretty likely. :scratchchin: I don't think people travel to Freerides to f@$# with other riders.

I am on a contract with VP i get a years supply of fuel from them every year to dyno race engines with and give them feedback and also test new fuel.Vp does this with similar businesses in the racing industry.I gave Pete this fuel from my drum it was c-14.pump gas doesnt come close to smelling like c 14.Im probly as jerked as pete is about this because I did it to help pete out and we also talked about gettin him hooked up on a deal with Vp.This would have not only benifited him but vp would have given the freestyle jetski world more exposure so everyone was benifiting from this.
Pete if you can get a sample ill send it out and have it tested and let you know what it was.

pete what kind of container was it in?
was it one of those clear jugs? or was it one of those metal jugs that race fuel comes in?

To me, it seems a little far fetched that a local who doesn't want jet-skiers replaced the fuel.
First, they'd have to do it without anyone seeing. They'd also have to have a hand pump with them or it'd take hours. They'd have to have an empty container along with a container full of regular gas. They'd also have to know that running regular gas in a race gas engine will jack it up.
How many people do you think know about race gas and know that much about engines? MAYBE 10% of the population is my guess. I didn't know a darned thing about race gas till I started riding. Ask everyone out there and I suspect almost all of them will say 'gas is gas', and the ones that don't most likely won't know exactly what causes 1 gas to be 'better' then another.
If it happened to me, I wouldn't suspect foul play unless I knew someone was pissed at me.
The big question, for me anyways: is there lead in the gas? If so, how much?
Could it be 100/110LL? I've no first hand experience with AV gas so don't know what they look/smell like.

i agree there had to be alot of effort put into stealing your gas
what was in the can before? could the race gas smell be left over fumes from before?
i could see the high octane messing up the 4 runner well atleast the cat

Pete,
Sorry to hear this man. I know for a fact that the C-12 is usually purple/bluish.
What gets me is this..who the hell would do some
like this? the ball of some people are really bothering. Like everyone there saw how many people were always walking around, at all hours. At least thats how it was in the parking lot, I never went into the parking garage, but I'd assume there were people walking around there too. It's pretty easy tp pick out a fellow jet ski rider as well, usually geared up in ski clothes etc.
C-12 drums...dont they require a special drum wrench just to be able to get into the damn things? they are definitely not light either, I've carried a drum like that so I know it's an awkward thing to carry.
Any how, i hope the bastard that stooped that low gets what he/she deserves.
