We normally run race fuel in them, you could also run e85! If you are wanting to run methanol you will need to change some things up in the nitrous system. If you have anymore questions ask away!

Thanks,
Garrett

In all my gas applications I usually run C-16 in the dedicated. What does your combo consist of?

Any kind of race fuel will be fine for use in the dedicated. Anything from 105-120octane is preferred. Personally I'd suggest using C16 in the dedicated. Even though it's a leaded fuel the amount used won't hurt the 02's of the car.
