In order to use it, you need to check the water content and strain it. Not something we have to do when we get it from the airport, but something you should do from a tank. You can use Iso-heat or another type of water absorber to get the water out.
I have always used at least 2 gallons of AV with 10 of Premimum in my fairly stock sled. Polaris 2001 had a slightly larger taper in the needle (about half a jet size) in the mids. I was getting mild detonation in the mid range, even with the AV. Fixed the problem a long time ago, but I still run it. Also 2000 and 2001 where notarious for bad crank bearings; cranks went around 1100 to 2100 miles. I had over 7000 miles on the engine before I decided to have it rebuilt and it was still getting 74 hp at the track. I may have just gotten lucky or it could have been a combination of things, regardless, I am still going to run the AV. For me it was a slight octane boost and I saw slightly better performance, but if it had too much AV, I lost performance. You have to have the right balance.
How old is this AV? AV only lasts about 6 months before it starts to go. If it is more than a year, I would not run it in your sled.
Just my .02

Ok so what you need to do is pretty easy it just takes a few steps.
1st... You need to get a nice big trailer sticker of slednecks and attach it to the tank. That way your sponshures wont be upset. Plus it will look sweet. And it cant hurt advertising for your sponshure.
2nd... You need to remove the head on ur sled and check to make sure it has the ported ring base gear. If it doesnt youll just have to add some octane booster. Not that big of a deal.
3rd... You need to order a litmus paper kit. Go to a pool shop to find. You need to check the PH of the AV gas. If it is above 8 or below 6 DONT use it.
Lastly... You need to make sure you run at least 1 quart of 15-40 dello mixed per tank of fuel. This prevents the side detonation and gives approx 7hp gain.
Its all pretty easy and dont believe all the hype. Using AV gas most definatley increases HP and performance. I mean DUH when putting stickers on increases hp then you know using AV gas has to do more than that. Good luck and let us know how it turns out!!

LMFAO !
AV gas in a stock sled will make about as much performance gain as carrying around a pair of mens dirty underwear in your modded windshield bag.
Your Daddy looks like the type who would have bad gas in this picture.
