Minnesota Fuel

Honestly, I thought all gas stations served 10% ethynol anymore? I use BP or Shell 93 and that is all i'll use. This is what I ran with the Stock Trilogy chip, with AND without the IAT2 hooked up (I hooked up the IAT2 a year after I bought the kit and didn't bother with a retune for six months) and also my current tune of 445 RWHP. Never ever once has it detonated. I once had to run Mobil 91 (with fuel booster), but I was highway driving and never even gave it a thought of going into boost untill that tank was replaced with my normal flavor.
 
All fuels are supposed to be 10% max although when I worked at the dealership we would see an occasional 16-17%. The fuel I was using was a BP non oxygenated,and no ethanol fuel. We use it in all of our extrication equipment,saws,generators, etc. because it retains its "potency" longer than anything else. We have had no fuel issues since switching to this about 3 years ago. When I was N/A, the fuel worked very well, never had an issue. It appears that with forced induction, that may change. I did speak with Danny yesterday in Rogers, nice guy, very knowedgeable and helpful. Having him tune this is an option if the new fuel fails. As for now it's time to go burn off what I have in the tank now and fill up with pump gas and try this again. More to follow.

The jury is still out. After talking with Danny, his recommendation was to use the oxygenated fuel containing the 10% ethanol. He had the same situation occur in an 03-04 Cobra. The customer was running the same type of fuel as I was and he had to pull a ton of spark out of it to get it to stop detonating. His customer ran the fuel down and filled up with "pump fuel". He then stated all problems were gone and the deleted timing could be added. I have tried the same and the initial results are promising. I just got back in town last night from Haz-Mat training and have been unable to verify if this problem is cured.More to follow.
