What fuel is this???

Alright a friend o' mine had a roommate that was into a bunch of different motorsports. He tells me he has a huge drum of race fuel. Couldn't explain in any further detail. So I said ya drop it off. I'll take a look at it see if I can use it. Anyways here's what I got, wondering if anyone has ever heard of it. Label says:

Pro-jet fuel, by Nutec
99 oct.

Anyone know what it is??
Thanks in advance,
Dave

That specific fuel says :Fuel for Watercraft 2 stroke & unleaded applications." You could run it in your 2 stroke lawn mower

If it is made for a 2 stroke it has lubricants and crap like that in it and I personally would not run it in my engine.

That gas doesn't come premixed, it is just high octane unleaded. No lead because it is for watercraft.
