The BP pumps have "may contain 10% ethanol" stickers. Anyone know if that blend would be ok for the 6.2 Raptor engine?

Thanks!

Lots of gas has 10% ethanol in them anymore. As long as the octane is no less than 92, your good to go. :peace:

Yeah, mine works fine with it as well. Before I had the 93 Premium tune, I would occasionally use 89 octane 100% gasoline (no ethanol). Didn't notice any performance perks or anything, but possibly a few extra fractions of mileage.

You can run 87, but you lose 10 hp. I haven't had a problem running 86 at altitude.

I run 87. A fellow Raptor in the area has a tuner and runs 91/93. We went heads up and with his tuner he pulled my Screw by 3 or 4 lengths at 85 90 mph. We switched and it was almost even. I weigh 320 and he weighs maybe 180. I have about 100 lbs of chain and strap in mine. So it was not much different with or without the octain and tune. Oh I have a Flowmaster 44 and his was stock exhaust. His may be a tad faster but mine sounded better! AHhahaaaaaaa.

91 is the lowest, and us Californians only get 91...and i haven't had a single problem, and they put 10% ethanol in our shit too...

That blows, luckily we have 93 in IL, but it has ethanol too..:peace:
