Has anybody tried VP C-12 gas

Baby B.
 I used to run Trick fuel 114 octane in my boat. Could you get in on the east coast?

GS400 do a message search on the POG website and there is more info on tank coatings than you can imagine.  Some recomend POR-15 others recomend caswells (?).  I probaly will do one or the other after  the Nov. 22 race.  I would have done it sooner but I couldn't get 1 of the petcocks off the tank, so I figured, it ain't broke so don't fix it.

Pablo,

Yeah, we can get Trick here, but when I was racing Skis I used VP because they paid contingency money ($100 1st, $50 2nd, $25 3rd) for podium finishes. Now I use Sunoco because that is easiest thing to get here locally.

Here's a couple interesting comments from race fuel distributors.

Fire Power Race Fuel

Never store fuel in plastic containers,
either transparent or opaque, including
fuel tanks. Light fuel fractions, which evaporate
easily, can migrate right through polymer surfaces
and UV light will cause an octane loss in leaded race
fuels. Small plastic containers should only be used
on a very short-term basis (up to a few hours), for
premixing with oils, or easier handling and filling. If
plastic containers are used, they should be made of
Teflon, Nylon, Fluorinated HDPE or, minimally,
thick walled HDPE.

Sunoco

Plastic jugs are very poor storage containers for a number of reasons,#148; says Art Brown, technical and operations manager for Sunoco Performance Products. #147;For one, they can#146;t be sealed tightly.#148; In addition, Brown says, the white containers are bad about allowing the light to hit the fuel, and that#146;s detrimental to the gasoline.
Some of those plastic-type materials are insulators and don#146;t allow for the dissipation of any of the static charges that might be built up,#148; Brown says. #147;It#146;s always better to use a metal container, though the colored containers will work fine if handled correctly and if they#146;re not used as storage containers for long periods of time.#148;

What mixture should I run un a 1974 250 Harescrambler (KTM motor). I was told I should run 100:1 with high octane fuel. I have mixed half 94 octane with half CAM2 but have not tried it yet. Any answers?

Everyone has a preference on premix ratios, but 100:1 in an air cooled engine is crazy if you ask me no matter what kind of oil you use. You dont have to mix at 16 or 20:1 because todays oils are so much better than 30 years ago, but I would not go past 50:1. The harder you run a two stroke the more oil it needs and smaller engines need more than larger engines. I mix 32:1, oil is cheap, Sachs and KTM engine parts are not.
