Can we use United 100 premium fuel on our E1 E2 E3 HSV?

yes it will work fine, hurd a few people say it runs well, if u get tuned on it i wouldnt run any less than 100 after that...

Im quite curious why 2012 VE SSV can run E85 fuel but E3 HSV can do nothing.... lol

United 100 is 98 octane + 10% ethanol so yes. You won't get any performance gains though.

oh really..... may need to try to see if there is any difference...

the LS2 and LS3 used in hsv's are not setup for E85, think its the L77 in the ssv has alot of changes to suit being able to run E85...

Just a question not trying to hijack the tread but do the l77 just have bigger injectors to run e85 if so does anyone know what size they are

L77 Engine is Better than LS3?

L77 Engine is Better than LS3?

the ssv have a sensor in the tank that tells the comp when there is E85 in the tank so then it changes to a different tune to suit E85, also i think there are a few other upgrades to the fuel system with e85 being more corrosive than petrol, pump might be higher flow, the injectors may be bigger to handle the flow but even tuned on e85 the standard l77 still wont be at the factory power of the ls3, holden havnt tuned the e85 for performance only to be better on the environment...
