OneBadSSS Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Ok, I just returned from a 6 month deployment to the Mediterranean Sea, so bare with me... What is with gas?? I wnet and filled up the SS today and noticed AFTER I was finished that the pump had a sticker on it saying the gas was a 10% ethanol blend! At first I panicked because I was afraid I was going to screw up my engine running ethanol since the SS doesn't have a flex-fuel motor. However, I've been running it all day and the SS seems fine. I also noticed that pumps at stations everywhere I go have the same "10% ethanol" stickers on all the pumps. I just want to be absolutely sure that running this blend is ok??

The PCM will adjust for the increased oxygenate ... If you do any aftermarket tuning, you should let your tuner know however ... 11H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbounds Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 10% Ethanol replaces the MTBE additive once used in gasoline. If I remember correctly, MTBE was linked to long term enviromental contamination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
