Syndiesel / Race Diesel thoughts?
Thinking of picking up a 5 gallon drum of syndiesel and mixing with 5 gallons of regular pump ~45 cetane diesel to use at the track? Chance of harming the car if I use this blended mix? Chance it will add power? JBD set at 95% currently.... I know I need the blend with pump diesel since the syndiesel doesn't have any lubricants.
Thoughts.... http://www.syndiesel.com/ |

PS: I would still probably add a supplemental lubricant though since it will reduce the wear scar of the pump diesel, something like diesel kleen or similar. |

Syndiesel and BMW 335d
OK so you are drag racing. We should get a little competition going with the Syndiesel drivers!
OK here is some free advice, you can run Syndiesel straight in your engines with the addition of a lubricity additive (any one will work). Your engines will sense the higher cetane and make the appropriate adjustments. These engines run best on 52-55 cetane diesel which is not readily available here. You can assume that our diesel is 40 cetane, so you can have 34% pump diesel and 66% Syndiesel to make 55 cetane (approx). How about you guys get organized into a class and I will throw in some swag for prizes? This is very cool - I might just buy one of these to have my racing project manager, Greg Hogue send our driver Jordan Leighton, to see how she can do in just a 1/4 mile. See us next at the Houston Half Mile Land Speen event, May 12th. Jess |

To clarify, the BMW 335d engine is tuned for up to 50 cetane, but will run on as low as 40 cetane; now obviously the engine is happier running higher cetane. In which case running anything higher than 50 cetane would likely yield little to no improvement. I would love to try your product as I read several positive reviews from the VW TDI guys. I wish you guys were closer because the shipping cost is what kills it for me. ![]() Last edited by cssnms; 04-23-2012 at 07:02 PM.. |

World Wide Racing Fuels
We ship Syndiesel to WWR, I will have my sales staff call them and I did send an email to their president to take note of your demand. Would not hurt to place a call and express your interest in buying 5-55 gallons. 1-800-648-2262

Picked up 10 gal at Hyperfuels after reading this thread. I noticed a major difference in power with this juice, car felt awesome! Pricy but will buy again.

How much of that 10 gallons did you mix in with a tank of diesel? What lubricity additive did you use? |

There is no lubricity additive in Syndiesel so the manufacuter recommends adding one when mixing with diesel; unless of course you like buying new fuel pumps and the like every once in a while.
