E10-ethanol Blend Petrol?

[**r33 skyline**]

went to a liberty petrol station for the first time and put in 94 ( which i thought was premium) but found out after when i was cheaper then the normal unleaded that i was the wrong stuff! opps, it that e10 ethanol bleand petrol!

it in my r33 gtst skyline, IS IT OKAY TO STILL DRIVE IT AROUND

WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!! HELP

Don't panic, just drain all the fuel. Get a can of 98 and put it in after, then drive it to a petrol station then fill up. Not really sure if you need to do anything else... but that's what I'd do.

PROTIP: don't farken worry about it

just don't thrash it if it's been tuned for 98 and put that in when you've run it down. I sometimes have to put BP or United 10% ethanol fuel in mine due to the nearest 98 octane pump being 35km from home lol. It won't harm it, there's also like 69 threads about e10 already anyway lol.

thanks guys! after puting it in i drove home from the station ( like 20 mins away) and cause i didnt know then that it was the wrong fuel then i was thrashing it like crazy! SHIT...... went alright but not in high revs!

ps. i couldnt find any other threads bout this! only like 1 (maybe im not looking prob)

ah yea most are in general automotive, some people blather on about the hygroscopic (water absorbing) properties of ethanol inducing corrosion and premature wear in the fuel system, but basically:

don't get ethanol fuel from a cruddy old looking servo, as there's more likely to be more water and crap in the tanks to start with

don't get fuel when the tanker's there unloading due to all the sediment in the tanks being stirred up

As i've said in the other threads, not only does BP ultimate have 5% ethanol in it anyway, but the gf's datto 1200 has had no lines wear away or mechanical problems in using united e10 for the past 2 years plus. I don't run it in mine because it uses a noticable amount more of it.

don't worry - be happy
