Testing synthetic fuel in our 1965 Mustang

- We popped down to Northampton Motorsport to their rolling road to get a better understanding of the trials and tribulations of running synthetic fuels in a classic Mustang racing car. This year at the @GoodwoodRR Members meeting there is a specific Mustang race where all competitors must run their cars on this special super juice. Have a watch to see how we got on, like and subscribe for much more.

What would you like to know about synthetic fuel? We will try and answer as best we can.
Do you need to tune the engine to run on this fuel or is "plug-in play" (in this case fill up and drive LOL)?
You are a class act like your dad. 2 great racing drivers in your own right.
@@leomux2004 we literally put it in and sent it here
@@BrundleBTW Good!😁
How easy is it to source compared to buying readily available conventional race gas?
This is the future, not environmentally destructive batteries.
agree
Anything that makes the cars we love more sustainable, and might even provide a boost to performance, is a big win in our books. Loving the videos, Alex 👏 / Team cinch CZcams
Another great and interesting video
If there was a way to scale up biofuels enough, everything is fixed. Climate, loud and fun engines, motorsports, air travel. Wouldn’t even need new civil infrastructure. But how do you scale it up to global scale.
Production on an industrial scale is the issue yes
Would it be possible for you comment on the fuel type / supplier (is it e85?) and whether the FIA is interested in allowing this anytime soon (the MM is a local event) ?
The video did not mention the stoichiometric differences and chances to the carbs...can you enlighten us please?
Kept it short because the 'most people' questions are 'Does it explode?' 'Does run lean and melt the engine?' but in more depth - It is Sunoco (Anglo AM). Yes, E85 to theoretically the same RON, Combustion, and LAMBDA are bob on. We have not had any fuel system issues yet (corrosion of lines etc), which is another FAQ. The only downside is the usage rate is a bit faster, but only when revving very very hard. At road rev range, the delta would be less.
@@BrundleBTW Thanks for the reply. I'm planning to run a GTS car with e85.
