Bioweapon now for sale at NESBA events

[BW Fuel Company]

We would like to invite all NESBA riders to take a look at the new BioWeapon website at www.bwfuel.com. We are now taking orders for some NESBA events with many more on the way. BWFuel is working toward integrating with the NESBA.com website over the next few months, so look for us near your “Event Sign Up” button soon. Positive commments are appreciated and criticism welcome via P/M or in this forum. We thank you and look forward to riding with you this season.

PS. If you rode at Barber in November you may see yourself in our commercial.

What is the octane rating of this fuel?

What is the stability on an open container? Typical race fuels have an opened container life span of 4 weeks or less. Can this be kept in the fuel system for extended periods? And does the performance stay consistent in an open container over time?

Mr Honda,
The previous post has our spec sheet attached to it. For the benefit of all reading this thread, I will answer your question by explaining the spec sheet. This will help you compare our fuel to other race fuels. For comparison sake I will use VP's U4.2 because we both claim similar performance numbers.

The distillation points refer to temperatures and rates where fuel burns away. The three points 10, 50 and 90% relate to specific functions of the fuel. 10%, the part that burns first, is mainly for cold starting, 50% is for warmup, and the 90% is what makes good power and mileage. EP is the end point (100%)

Reid Vapor Pressure describes how easily liquid fuel turns to burnable vapor. In comparison, VP's U4.2 is 6.32, BioWeapon is 8.8. This is one way BioWeapon makes power and reduces HydroCarbons in the exhaust at the same time.

Research octane number and motor octane number describe resistance to predetonation. Research is a lab derived number where as motor actually uses a special test motor to determine knock points. The octane that most refer to is PON (pump octane number)which is simply the average of the two. BioWeapon's PON is 93.3, VP'S U4.2 is 105. BioWeapon was specifically formulated to stay at 93 allowing it's power gains to be reaolized with little or no custom maping of fuel systems or engingine tuning. It takes a great deal of modification to truely take advantage of 105 octane and or oxygenated fuel. Staying at 93 also lets riders switch back and forth from pump gas without re-tuning.

Oxidation Stability. Here in lies the answer to your question. This describes how the fuel reacts when exposed to open air. BioWeapon has a very good oxidation stability, especially when compared to oxygenated fuels. In the big picure of fuel turning bad, EP and Reid Vapor Pressure come in to play here as well. Even though no fuel likes to sit in open air, the difference between BioWeapon and U4.2 is there is no need to drain your tank after use BW, or dispose of month old fuel.

Finally, the gravity measurements are the relative weight and density of fuel compared to water. Typically heaver fuels get better mileage.

I hope this helps everyone understand the gist of fuel spec. The descriptions I offer here are simplified versions of what are all debateable and complicated points. If anyone needs more specific information in more depth, P/M me and I will put you in contact with our chemist.

Pitzer and I have a mutual friend who is connected with a punk band in England. They made us the cover version of The Trashmen's Surfin' Bird in the video. We think it is spot on for our image. Not to mention how good DooDoo and Land Shark look when they ride. By the way that is Jeff Floyd pancaked out at 1:08, and it is quick but at 1:47 - 1:48 DooDOo is pasing 2 guys around he outside of 5. A great deal of work, especially watching hours of film to find our riders, went in to this simple commercial. We will have another infomercial type video in about a month or two for some other products we are going to launch once our riders are finished evaluating them. Thanks to all who have supported us so far, especially if you are in this video.

This thread jogged my memory a bit (Good thing). I still have the half a tank of Bioweapon in my R6 since the Barber event. Turned on the key, mind you this bike has not been run since the Barber event, hit the starter button and it fired right up. Had this been U4.2, I would have become very busy cleaning/replacing my injection system (not that I have had to do that before). Even seemed to have decent throttle reponse once it warm up. I may save the rest until Barber!

We have let fuel sit in a 08 CBR1000 for over 4 months and had no starting issues. Fuel left that long exposed to air will not give as much power as fuel stored properly, but will not degrade any worse than pump gas.
