Yeah, no access to ethanol free, it already snowed here and I didn't use a stabilizer yet so I think I'm screwed either way and stuck without it since I can't drive to mix it. I've seen questionable results with stabilizers anyway like here

I have no issues with ethanol as all modern cars are engineered and designed to run on E10. My main question is regarding cold storage over winter for 5-6 months. I used to store with E0 but it's no longer available so I don't know if the E10 will be fine to fill tank and park for winter. I'm...

Yeah that's a big thing, since it gets below 0c here and drops to -20/50 all winter there's very little actual moisture in the air which leads me to think I'm overthinking it

I've apparently found a station that claims to have E0 but my tuner answered me and said E10 stores longer than E0 so now I'm conflicted if it's worth using up the full tank of E10 to fill up with the "E0" for storage, taking the station at it's word that is still using E0 despite the law...

Any Brand specifically?

There's an airport across the river from me but I'm not sure they will sell fuel to consumers for non plane use. I.e Jerry cans or cars

So I'm probably safe for the 5-6 months even without a stabilizer but it will add a safety net basically? I put dryer sheets in area to stop rodents but they aren't really an issue since it gets to -40c here, anything vermin outside basically dies. Yeah it's basically at full, put 70$ in...

If using stabilizer is the smart way to go here that's what I would do yes, run it for 10-15 minutes, top up fuel and store. Should I use the stabilizer? What brand for E10?

I'm cold storing my GDI turbo car for the winter, I've done all the other stuff like tires, tender etc, but our gov recently switched to mandated E10 in all fuel so I can't get ethanol free anywhere. I filled the tank with E10 shell 91 V power (highest ethanol here), do I need to use a fuel...

80 points, 8 numbers. I worded that wrong.

I think the VP stuff is weaker, the whole bottle only treats 15 gallons (my tank is 16.1) for 8 octane points. I just needed to get near 94 to rule out tuning/fuel issues.

Yeah the stupidest part about this is I have boostane premium (similar chemicals) here for my drift WRX and I specifically drove to get unleaded stuff and still grabbed the wrong bottle.

No but it helped me narrow down that it wasn't tune or fuel related and that led me to sit under the thing for a day pulling on heat shields and checking motor mounts. Ended up being a loose heat shield on the inner side of the up pipe. Last time I used the unleaded version a few years ago for...

From the reading I've done people have contacted them and they say around 30k miles of use for real damage. Seems like one bottle, while not smart, won't have caused any real damage. Will be calling them tomorrow to confirm.

It's not sohc, I've diluted it twice now and everything seems to be running fine, not sure I'll bother replacing the plugs unless I start noticing issues just because they are a month old and it's a PITA
