Top Lube Question

(1/2) > >>

dusterdave173:
Just got a new sealed drum of VP brand M1 methanol--Emailed VP they said use top lube to cut down on corrosion--Question--Is it best to add bottle of lube to the entire drum or maybe dose it when I draw it out into my 5 gal jugs right before a race? I used top lube last year seemed like it helps coat things --had zero issues with fuel / corrosion / etc   I drained system after every wk end--blew out all lines etc and used WD-40 blown through lines and added little oil to pump ---getting ready to clean all my filters etc and get everything ready---we are getting ice/snow Monday but I am in North Carolina and we will be testing in March no doubt. Thanks

I shake 1 Qt. Klotz top lube in a 55 gal drum. Most of the sprint car teams up here have been doing this for many years too. Works well.
Nothing could be easier to add except for adding nothing. ;D

When we ran the Hilborn stack system I didn't like the residue left in the nozzles (screens). Stopped using it. I blow down system and lube pump and BV after a race . All good.

Dave if you are blowing out your system I don't think you need it . I do the same thing and have never had any problems .

Agree with Bill.Not saying top lube is bad.Just you are doing the work thats needed to maintain the system and IMO top lube is waste at that point.  Guess you could call it dbl insurance.
