Mildman Member 149 Member For: 19y 23d Posted 24/03/06 11:58 PM Share Posted 24/03/06 11:58 PM The stock Ford engine management computer can take advantage of premium fuel up to an octane rating of 95, so a 96 octane ethanol mix would be pretty good (to account for the variation in octane)Preimum Fuel has a 'service life' of around 4 weeks from the day it is made before it starts to go 'off' and reduce it's octance (that's where the variation in octane can come from) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabba Member 38 Member For: 19y 6m 21d Posted 18/02/07 10:25 AM Share Posted 18/02/07 10:25 AM Sorry for the dumb question. But I thought I read somewhere on this forum that Gea added Nulon Octane booster to a tank of E10 and he ended up causing his fuel to go off and chunky....Is this true or false.....reason I ask is I use E10 and I would like to use Nulon in the tank when I hit the circuit to eliminate any pinging when I am pushing it to the limit for long periods...Also has anyone tried NF octane booster.. if so what were your thought, How much does it cost and were can I get it from....Thanks in advance for your help..Jabba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was worried too, as the box went with 3/4 tank of this mix and the car was sitting for 3 weeks just after Craig had his prob's (same scenario with Craig's) and I was worried that the same thing might happen to my car, but no prob's at all.The only issue I had with the E10 was that I found that the car would not start first pop whilst running this fuel - wierd I know - but I tested it 4 times.Run through 2 tanks of E10 - car had prob's starting first go. Back to BP Ultimate for a couple of tanks and would start first go again. Got me stuffed why, but was able to be repeated each time.For booster, I have never tried NF. I've always used Nulon Pro strength. Edited 19/02/07 12:08 AM by sutty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
