What fuel additives does everyone use? I use the PRI products both in my Diesel truck and on the boat now. If you have never used the PRI stuff before I highly reccomend it (No, I 'm not a sales person for it). My buds in Afghanistan are using it and it is working great for them (they get some really crappy fuel there). I use it in my 7.4L and it cleaned up the transom alot. Here is the website.

I've never used a fuel additive. I've got a new 496/HO that runs fine on regular pump gas.

I don't run additive either. 502 runs great on pump gas.And 87 octane to boot.

But ,if I did need a additive. I would just drink alot of Vodka and then pi*s in the tank. Then I get twice as much for my money





Hey,thanks for the web site though

I'm a big fan of 87 octane, more money for beer!

(they get some really crappy fuel there).

camel piss?

Hell yes,,, the manual says 87 octane,,, it's only getting 87 octane !!!! Actually, contrary to popular belief,,, running 92 in a motor that only wants 87 will actually make it run worse !!!! Higher octane burns slower and if you dont have a motor built for 92 I.E. high compression, it will adversly affect its performance, and on new computer motors, it needs to see spark knock to adjust timing, high octane wont allow that to happen properly !!!

 

[eddie]

Hate to say it, but Obnoxus is correct. Dealership told me I was wasting my money on 91. I read the book, and viola! 87 is all it gets.

 

[crmax]

it is true about the higher octane but the trick is to get 87 that burns complete. ive seen this on my race bike

 

[Speedwake]

hey crmax: tell me about your race bike....?

 

[obnoxus]

Hey,,,,, what do you mean " HATE TO SAY IT " !!!!!?????? :angry1: :angry1: :angry1: :gunner: :gunner: :gunner:

 

[OldMagicfloat]

sounds like someone else has you figured out

 

[obnoxus]

That hurts !!!

 

[jimgoog]

Yes, probably camel piss. No this stuff is not an octane booster. Go to the site and check it out. It restores fuel to its originally rtefined state. I love the stuff. I use it because who knows how old that fuel is at the docks, or even at the gas station. I get allmost no soot at all on my transom since i started using it. My diesel smokes alot less when I stomp on it too.

 

[crmax]

did you pick up any mph using it?

 

[jimgoog]

No, I dont think so, but it is supposed to do wonders for engine life. Check out the site. I do get much better gas MPG/MPH at cruise with it in. I only run 87 in my boat. Tried the 92 stuff 2x and noticed nuttin. Just a waste of money to me. The stuff is not cheap but it is super concentrated, 1oz per 16 gallons of fuel. I use about 1 gallon of the PRI-G each year.

 

[crmax]

I never believed all that hype about higher octane gas till I ran racing fuel in my bike and picked up a few mph, its not the octane its that it burns more complete and that makes more power, I may start to play with some additves and some racing gas but at $3.00 a gallon Ill mix some and see if it makes any differnce . the gas is so crappy now there has to be something we can do about the mtbe and achol there putting in it

 

[jimgoog]

I believe in order to burn the higher ocatne fuels with any benefit we would need a higher compression ratio than we are curently running. The reason why I say I do not know if I gained any speed with it is, I have always used it. So I have no baseline to compare it to. From hearing what you are saying about your fuel, sounds likeyou may be able to get something from it. Hell for a cheap $30.00 (might be less, I buy it by the case), might be worth a try. I use it in my truck too. I love the stuff.

 

[crmax]

im going to try something

 

[crmax]

your boat just runs so good, and I run the same as a guy I know with the same baot as I have, I find it hard to believe that its only your hull and weight that makes you faster not 5 mph worth I think your making more power on top of that
