UNITED 100 OCTANE 10% ETHANOL BLEND

Postby skubesnaps » Thu Apr 18, 2013 9:44 pm

I've got a Liberty MY04 GT - any thoughts on using United's 100 Octane 10% Ethanol blend?
Could it be responsible for stuffing my air fuel ratio sensor?

how many kms on the car? if over 80,000+ they do fail....some earlier than stated

I don't think so? I have been using prem 100 for many years now with no issues...and so have many other members using this fuel and other E based fuels ( E85 )

I wouldn't say it's to blame for stuffing a air/fuel ratio sensor as I have been running the 100 for many years even before united started stocking it the local 7/11 had it as a premium racing fuel and haven't had any fuel related problems.

Is there a huge noticeable difference compared to the 98?

No huge noticeable difference.

i can't remember where i heard that the p100 is actually mixed on site, therefore leading to a big consistency issue, especially between different stations.
Does anyone know if this is the case?
Also at stations where it is in the tanks for a long time the hygroscopic nature of the fuel leads to poor quality.

I've had two occasions to fill up with it, one was fine, the other caused the car to miss at higher rpm's.

Just interested in peoples' opinions.

I mentioned this when I was using P100 and logging almost daily.

United will confirm that P100 is mixed on site from calculations of fuel in their storage tanks, fresh 98 and ethanol added to the blend.

I found inconsistencies from filling at the Blackburn South United.

If you find a good servo where it's mixed accurately it should be fine. For me this wasn't the case.
