got an email from VP fuels and from what I understand, THIS SUCKS!!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello: motor sport enthusiasts.
Hope this letter finds you all well.
This is a reminder that leaded race fuel may no longer be available as of January 1st 2010. According to federal Gasoline Regulations documents from the Department of the Environment, regulations were amended in 1994 to add a 2 1/2-year exemption for leaded gasoline imported, for use in competition vehicles.
This exemption has been extended three times, in 1997, 1998 and 2003. Then it was extended Dec. 31; 2007.This exemption will no longer be in place as of Jan. 1, 2010.
There are other factors involved with the proposed ban on leaded gas. How will it be enforced? Will there be government officials at each and every racetrack, checking the fuel cells of each race vehicle?
The document can be found on the Government of Canada website, under Canada Gazette Part 1, Dec. 22, 2007.
Please feel free to contact me at any time for further information

Any one have any info, please post it. Thanks

 

if that happens round here, ill switch to alcohol and make more power.

 

Why did they banned it?

 

That's garbage!

It was banned for emissions reasons to the best of my knowledge....

 

Tree hugging socialists

 

Bad for the environment is there main reason, even though 95% of lead fuels is consumed by the Canadian Aviation. Don't know what there trying to prove, other than see how much they can **** off the car community. Atleast I still have my Sonoco 94 in Ontario, till they take that away, lol

 

yeah this is bad news, we have a division 6 race in mission, bc. still wondering what they are going to decide for this event, havnt heard anything as of yet

 

i guess VP is about to see a surge in e100 sales to canada lol.

 

And Tony shipping up more injectors lol

 

So true, Cali wont be far behind.

 

E98 ftw.

 

Would be nice but here in Ontario we have Enothing lol. We got flex fuel vehicles, but nothing to flex on

 

ha ha soo true

 

political move for the ****ing tree huggers



I tell you, my school is full of prissy VW van driving nature lovers that want to protect the environment. Changing everything in the school so its environmentally friendly and to show how "green" we are, the problem I see is that they drive to school in their broken down POS garbage vehicles then complain about all the cars on the road. When in fact it is their cars that pollute in abundance


cant win

 

This actually really sucks

I think the sport is going to take a big pludge up here, especially with the OSCA guys...

Can the U.S. guy's make an exception for methanol for Canadians in SFWD? Lol...

 

There is E85 at a pump in Guelph on Wellington St. For those who might be interested...3 Other E85 pumps, 1 in Chatham and 2 in Ottawa.

 

Will never happen, when they tryed a couple years back vp spent the money and proved just how much polution they created and it was so little that it will never be banned

 

Hope you're right because this really sucks

 

Holy cow, by the responses here, you'd think this was the end of the world. It's been proven time and again, that there are many alternatives to leaded fuel. This is NOT new, and people should have been being preemptive. Look around guys and re tune, then relax

 

I tried that route,i was debating running e85 and just went to check out how much it was and see if its available and turns out its not.They wont just sell it to anybody,it has to go into a flexfuel vehicle,no gerry cans,or any other type of vehicle.

 

Order a flex-fuel badge off ebay or something.

 

Only Canada

 

Anyone see anything closer to the GTA ? Might be a web site, you never know.

lol, that sucks, I wonder if Toronto Motorsports Park will start carry it, as a kind of going green thing lol????

That's how we roll hahaha
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW anyone know how this is gonna be put into effect ?............... ban on importing of lead fuels for racing? or people testing at the track?.............etc

 

So, does this mean no F1 race in Canada?

 

very true i tried aswell and they would'nt let me pump unles it was into a flexfuel vehicle... oh well
