Re any additives and fuel cells:

I received a bit of education when my 20 year old fuel cell bladder started chunking apart. The first lesson was that you don't use fuel cells for 20 years! (dah!) The first question the folks at FuelSafe asked was whether I was using any octane boosters since so many of them have a bit of alcohol. They went on to explain the differences in fuel cell construction; how different materials were used for gas and other fuels. It may very well be that the fuel cells used by some of the racers on this thread were constructed with materials that don't break down using thinners, etc. I would strongly suggest that you check to see what your fuel cell bladder is designed for before you start adding anything to your gas, and that you check the ingredients of any additives before you use them. Contact either FuelSafe or ATL if you have any doubts.
