Ok, i have had a thought
i rember the 1st few times i bought NF race it seamed pretty "thick" when i poured it out

then i rember getting a bottle and it seamed thinner, the foil cap on the top wasnt sealed on the bottle put it was stuck to the bottle cap

ive had another few bottles with the foil cap the same, one bottle had the foil thing seperated from both the cap and the bottle itself

i read on a Rsoc site about how a few bottles supplied by sumbody else where the same

Bought some NF race last week from Roger Clark Motorsport (they have good stocks at moment) http:/www.rogerclarkmotorsport.co.uk

The bottles had foam seals and was very gooey and slightly yellow.

i cant rember having a foil cap tho (but sumthing is niggling me saying that maybe i once did)

i rember having to prize the top of the bottle (be it foil or foam) with my key as i couldnt remove it by hand, the latest bottles ive got are easy to remove (a few came off as i unscrewd the top)

i useing 75mm per tank at the moment but i normaly fill it up when it gets down to the last 1/4 tank on the fuel guage

any other users?
id hate to think that sumbody is watering the stuff down qite high up

im sure i rember reading sumbodys thread on this board about the latest NF being a bit crappy (might have been harvey)

Foam discs in mine, when i pour it into a clear bottle you can see thru it easily but when you leave it a while it goes darker.

Some have the foam filled caps, some have foil tops - depends what bottle was used at source in Aus. They're both exactly the same though. I've used both and readings I got were identical.

If it's "watered down" don't think it'd work very well lol - RST boys - gotta love 'em
