octane booster?
if your running a tune with higher boost i would lower the boost. until the gas is burned

Drive like a granny.


I thought you were going to say diesel. That'd be fun

WHEW!!! I thought you put DIESEL!!! scared me! Just drive normal at stock boost level. Even better if you can find a place that sells race gas

[Jeff@TopGearSolutions]

Octane booster doesnt work.

The car will "adapt" so to speak but the best thing you can do is just drive it easy on this tank.

When you get to half a tank, fill up with 93 it will come out to about 90 octane so it will be close.

Or wait till its empty and go full 93

I don't know where to get race gas. What about octane booster? or should fill the rest with 93?

[H4n]

Ok will do. I also have a procede v4 I should go down to stock map also correct?

[CasperSYTFU]

Yes return to stock map until your next tank

[McMuffin]

You'll be fine

[H4n]

Cool, thanks guys. I read the manual and it said min. 89 or you could cause engine damage. Scared me.

[forza1976]

just drive it till it's empty... It's not like you put in Diesel

[Litos]

drive it around like a poon until you're on the gas light.

then fill it back up.

DO NOT WIDE OPEN THROTTLE !!!!

[blacknbean]

find some 100octane and mix it up

[cstmx_ryder]

So they put the 93 oct button on the 87 oct?

[Dmacc]

What happens when you put Diesel in our cars? I always wanted to know

[///M3NACE]

Your scared you might mess up again!?

[skim7x]

^ BOOOOOOMMMMMM

haha jp... i dunno =P

[2kaccordocoupe]

no big deal, run map 0 and burn off the gas - fill up with 91 when you get a chance

I dont think it will run....

Diesel engines in essence run on "constant spark" and higher compression so its easier to cause combustion. In essence the vehicle runs on knocking.

So it doesnt need as "potent" stuff to run.

My buddy put about 4-5 gallons of diesel in his Jeep by accident, until he realized what he was doing. He filled up the rest of the tank with premium gas. Car ran fine. But a Jeep isn't exactly a BMW.

[idrift4wd]

syphon and sell the 87.
