    Default Fuel for the VE SS

    I've got access to some aviation fuel and was wondering if it would be possibil to use it in the ute something like a hi-octane fuel for drag racing.
    It's probably a stupid but i thought i might just ask just incase you can

    I would'nt try it, any fuel will do for drag racing, as long as it's not the real cheap stuff.

    Think it screws with your oxygen sensors, ring a tuner and ask to be sure.......

    you can MIX with unleaded but its not very safe to store.

    50/50 seems to be the best ratio for reducing pre-detonation... heard about guys in the states using it all the time. it has a bullsh!t high octane rating.

    wouldnt use it for street driving thou... and id be making sure that everything in your engine is rock solid before trying it.

    iv never tried it but im pretty sure 100% avgas will blow your motor down the quarter mile

    dunno if its legal either so watch out for that

    I'm running a Maffless tune so i dont have to worry too much about that oxygen sensor.
    I was only going to da a couple of litres for the track. too expensive to use everday
    I dont think that i really want to risk hurting the engine too much with this.
    Might talk to my workshop about this

    I would call a decent tuner for their opinion as ive run avgas in my car but have no oxy sensors, a mate was going to put some in his and was advised against it, he has oxygen sensors. Maf or not your still running oxy sensors surely..........
