07 STROKER · April 7th, 2008, 06:19 PM

Fastback91 · April 7th, 2008, 06:19 PM

just to be safe i would try to add/mix some octane booster just in case

blackhavok · April 7th, 2008, 06:20 PM

see the tank is currently topped off.......with 87 octane! and last time i used octane booster my car hated it! it actually ruined my ht0's

07 STROKER · April 7th, 2008, 06:22 PM

drain it then....dont even roll the dice

Fastback91 · April 7th, 2008, 06:26 PM

u can send me the 87 if u want

06RedfireGT · April 7th, 2008, 06:31 PM

Yeah, I wouldn't chance it. It'll be a $60 fuckup, but that's better than blowing the motor.

blackhavok · April 7th, 2008, 06:32 PM

so drain it?? how the hell do i drain it though?

syphon as much of it into another car as possible and then get the 93 into it.

06RedfireGT · April 7th, 2008, 06:33 PM

There should be a drain plug. You're gonna have to find something to hold 14 gallons of gas.

That's a good idea.

With a siphon hose like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...PL._AA280_.jpg

And some jerry cans. Put the fuel in another vehicle.

It should be fine, just STAY OUT OF BOOST!!! If you hear any knocking at PT then put in some torco. Maybe fill it up with 93 to help dilute the 87 too. Most tuners do not bump the timing too much at the low load regions.

Most new cars have some kind of vlave that prevents a siphon hose from going in. I dont know if the mustangs have them though.

^even if you really ram the hose in?

Grabber523 · April 7th, 2008, 07:18 PM

Drive it easy, stay out of boost if you can help it, don't rev over 3000 rpm and you'll be fine.

Maybe if you use a metal ram rod you could break it off, but it will take some serious force. I'm guessing you have never seen the filler tube.
