Title: Race fuel? Post by: Roy on June 04, 2010, 12:01:43 PM So, I went to a local gas station in New Brighton, to fill up my 5 gallon gas jug for my lawnmower and to also use some in my motorcycle. I had heard that they carried non-oxy fuel...they did but it was 110 octane race fuel. Is that ok to use in my motorcycle and my lawnmower?
Needless to say I won't be going back again because that gas was 6.80 per gallon :o! I know BP has non-oxy at some stations but there are none close by... Title: Re: Race fuel? Post by: minnesotamonster on June 04, 2010, 12:49:06 PM I dont know.
Try it and let us know. [evil] Title: Re: Race fuel? Post by: fasterblkduc on June 04, 2010, 04:07:38 PM non-0xy is good for your bike. 110 octane is not. The high octane is for engines that are tuned for it and have a real high compression. The higher octane prevents pre detination that the lower octane fuels do when put into a high compression engine.

Well if anyone wants some free race fuel let me know; I've got about 4 gallons of it. If it's leaded, I definitely wouldn't use it in your bike. The lead can foul up fuel injectors and electronic sensors (O2, for example) that it comes in contact with. |
