mickey_gee Member 593 Member For: 20y 8m 17d 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 https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27625-boost-98-united-fuel-with-ethanol/ 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 https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27625-boost-98-united-fuel-with-ethanol/#findComment-419868 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think they will deny any warrenty problems related to the use of ethonol blend fuel.
