91 and 95 octane
we can get only 91 and 95 octane fuel, nothing less. its the same price! in the future they are planning to sell only the 95 in austria. should i do a timing adjustment to go with 95 or is it fine like it is?

I have a feeling your motor won't know the difference.

A 91 european octane fuel is actually about 98 US octane !!!!! So u be more then fine actually maybe better off. I lived in germany all my life and had race engines that needet 110 octane fuel in the us and in germany i fueled the 95 or 98 shell super and they where fine . Thats how i know because i had done that research in late 90's. :ernaehrung004: |
First thing is to find out how your octane measurement compares to US octane ratings.

ok, that fine, will call him
Hanisch GmbH Reichelsheimer Str. 10 55268 Nieder-Olm hope this is correct |
Do you know what the compression ratio is on your engines? If it is low to medium, use the 91 octane. If you have a 12.5:1 or blowers, use the high octane.
I bet you do not have high compression with a stock 454 mag. 91 octane in the US is plenty for that motor. |
yes, i know that 91 is enough, but i cant get that stuff!!! what happenz when i use 95? i think there is no problem wih it, but maybe i should think about adjusting something to the much higher octane than recommend.

Running higher octane than required won't hurt your engine, it just might lose a little power (very little). Higher octane fuel burns a bit slower, and with a low compression engine you might not get a full burn on the power stroke. Advancing the timing can help if you run into that situation, but personally I wouldn't mess with it. |
