Sunoco 260 GT Plus 104 Octane Race Fuel

Sunoco 260 GT Plus 104 Octane, Unleaded Racing Fuel

This fuel is sanctioned by: RUSH Racing Series 

Sunoco 260 GT Plus is a highly oxygenated race fuel that will not harm oxygen sensors. It is a popular choice for Crate Engines, Motorcycles, ATV's, Karts and highly tuned vehicles. Due to its high oxygen content, an increase in fuel flow is required to utilize the full potential of 260 GT Plus compared to conventional non-oxygenated fuels. 

Sunoco 260 GT Plus contains additives to enhance shelf life and promote engine cleanliness. As with any gasoline, it should be stored in opaque, tightly sealed containers and kept where temperatures are stable. Properly stored, the shelf life of 260 GT Plus is in excess of 1 year. 

Note: exposure to sun light (ultraviolet light) can degrade the octane of this fuel and must be avoided. 

SUNOCO TECH CORNER

If you need more octane for the headroom to push things further, Sunoco offers 260 GT Plus. This one carries a 104-octane rating, meaning it can withstand more boost and more compression. But there are some tradeoffs, Sunoco's Santner notes. First, this unleaded fuel isn’t a street-legal product. Also, that extra octane comes courtesy of more ethanol plus MMT, an octane booster. That elevated ethanol content might require a tune that delivers more fuel, while sunlight can degrade the MMT–special handling and storage required.

Sunoco’s oxygenated fuels contain alcohol, and that alcohol helps performance. Alcohol can have some drawbacks, though: Proper storage becomes key when you’re talking about fuels containing alcohol. Alcohol is also such an effective cleaner that it could loosen deposits in older, dirtier systems and clog the fuel filter.
