E10

[stang]

maybe Geea can comment but didn`t he run the ethanol blend and it reacted with his octane booster putting his car off the road for a week.

I`m not willing to risk it yet would rather spend a few more dollars per tank to be safe.Also it has been stated by different people that you will get less milage compare to a preium fuel don`t know about srd though.

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)

First off 

Wow, that's alot ok K's in the city each week, hope SWMBO can handle 300rwkw in the wet.

I have been using the United E10 on and off for 15000km, no probs, definatly goes better than either Caltex 98 or BP ultimate, and about 15c per L cheaper, so I am happy, I got acrap lot of BP this week, ping city, but some Nulon fixed that up, but generaly I use the E10 and all is good.

I have around 300rwkw Auto.

Who's tune were you running when it pinged on the crap fuel?

We have now run 2 tankfulls of E10 and I think it is only 95 octane and thew fuel economy has defiantly got better havn't actually taken figures as wife drives most of time but refilling has become less frequent with same amount of driving

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..

Not sure which state your in.

NF Race @ 1 to 1.5 mls per litre in 98 0ctnae fuel will give you 100 octane fuel if that's any help.

Cost is $30.00 per bottle.

At those rates a bottle will treat 200 to 300 litres of fuel.

Hi Matt,

I'm not sure what the outcome of Craig's tests were.

I can tell you that I had run Optimax Extreme + booster in the XR6T without any prob's. 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.

Nulon pro strength is very good
