mickey_gee Member 593 Member For: 20y 2m 9d Gender: Male Location: Newcastle NSW Posted 11/08/06 07:46 AM Share Posted 11/08/06 07:46 AM I know the drawbacks with using fuel with ethanol in it. What I want to know is your experiences with it. Should I be worried about putting this fuel in my car if it has been custom tuned with mobil 8000?MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe "other" fuels wouldnt go as good and some even pingged depending on tempreture/humitity.. Synergy 8000 had no problems.. It was tuned by the way.. I tried the boost98. and I found I picked up more response over the synergy8000. So I would almost highly recommend it..Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think they will deny any warrenty problems related to the use of ethonol blend fuel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
