I heard about your brother from a tech at that station
I think it is VP 103 not 105. Also the kerosene is in it's own pump I do believe.
I have used it several times without any problems. You may want to check elsewhere with your brother's car.
Other locations for 100+ include a place in Derby that sells CAM 100 oct

Goto VP's website and they have a listing of territory managers.
you can click on the one for your region and he can hook you up with the distributor for your area.
Any VP dealer can sell you a 55 gallon drum if they want to.<ul><li><a href="http://www.vpracingfuels.com/dist.html">linky.</a></li></ul>

They keep it in drums in the winter and on pump in the summer...
I went this winter and they had the kerosene running on the pump that usually has the race gas in the summer. The drum in the back was empty so we were SOL on a cold, sunny winter day. Now the pump is back in action and I am assuming that they don't ahve extra drums in the back. I would think they would use 2 different underground storage tanks but then why wouldn't they run race gas year round and sacrifice 89 octane in the winter for kerosene. I guess it's a sales volume decision.

Have you run it yet this summer out of the pump? more...
My brother has been running it from the pump at this station for a few years now and this is the first time he ever thought there might be a problem. That said it may indeed be an intermittent fuel problem that has not been properly diagnosed yet.

Good to hear. Could very well be my brother's prob. more...
Definitely not my intention to bad mouth a station that is willing to sell the candy we love - even if it is now $6.00 per gallon :-0 I just didn't want to run a test on my car without some feedback from others...

There's this place in CT off 84 (a few exits east of Hartford)

I believe it's exit 63....but you can call 800-RACEGAS to make sure.

Assuming that is the Sunoco in Manchester, CT (exit 63 off I84), the station is currently a big pile
of dirt. The whole place will be new. The tanks are in place, but not covered with dirt yet. The building is framed, but that's about it. And I'm within a few miles of it 
I hope it goes back!

The place you pictured (in Manchester) has been torn down and is being rebuilt.
No word yet on whether or not there will be a 100 octane pump when it is rebuilt. Its Exit 63, BTW.
