stupid moment

[20svtcobra03]

havent drove the cobra in a couple months and by accident i put a few gallons of 86 octane in the tank on but the rest is 91 the a bottle of torco will it be ok or should i just go ahead an drain the tank dumb question ill prolly just drain the tank anyway

 

[SLEEPERSTATUS]

ummmm oops!

 

[Silverboost]

if you only put a few gallons in then you should be okay. You could just dump some torco in there to be extra safe.

 

[20svtcobra03]

yeah the dumbist thing i have ever done it my life im so worried lol

 

[thomas91169]

wow. thats the dumbest thing youve done in your life is put a few gallons of 86 with the rest of 91?

youll be fine if you stay out of WOT the rest of the tank. or yeah, throw some Torco in to bring the average back up to 91 status. But just staying out of the throttle will be enough.

 

[20svtcobra03]

well maybe just on the car

I know a guy that was running regular in his 04 pullied cobra. He about cried when he got it dyno'd at a dyno day and only put down 420hp. I still give him shit for it. Like others said, don't boost too much until you fill back up.

 

[Jomo1994z71]

yep, torco it, or let it idle till in runs out lol...seriously, I think you will be just fine if you stay out of boost

...seriously, I think you will be just fine if you stay out of boost

Absolutely...

If you're not boosting, you have no need for the extra octane

 

[BlackBeauty44]

lol dough!!!

 

[T-Pain808]

If you haven't drove in it for a few months you one probably should have put torco in it anyways.

I wasn't even aware that they made an 86 octane fuel

Lowest I've ever seen is 87

And I guess you don't have above 91 there?

It's so stupid to have such differences between areas of the country :dw:

 

[Tylerb59]

Been there, done that after driving my "DD" for a couple months straight. I caught myself about 1/2 tank in. :S

Stay out of boost and run the tank out (which usually doesn't take long). A can of Torco is a bit overkill but would be the safest route.

we have 85 octane in Elko of course it's at 5200 ft elevation and you don't need as high of octane.. the highest that I can get is 91 octane..

 

[03cobra#694]

I agree with the aboves.Stay out of the go pedal.

 

[20svtcobra03]

yeah the highest we have in town is 91 at one gas station lol everywhere else in town is 90

wouldnt you need a higher octane due to the lesser oxygen content in the higher elevation causing a leanout condition and possible predetonation/knock?

Less oxygen would make it rich.
