It gets 33 at best (worse when I'm honking the supercharger at 6000 rpm),

A lot of people have had difficulty ascribing the haze problem to
a root cause. We do know that too much caustic can cause an
electro-chemical response where microscopic water wants to
adhere to esters. As I am told by our chemist...a reasonably

or some form of other particulate suspension problem other than a simple fuel
