Anybody have a idea of where to get some fuel tested for octane, and leaded/unleaded? Short of sending it out for chemical analsis.

 

Yes, send it to me for analysis. I prefer a large quantity for accurate test results. Five different 55 gal drums would work just fine. I will run it in each of my 5 vehicles and get back with you on how it performed in each.

If this isnt what you had in mind, I would say you are going to have to know someone who works in a petroleum lab where they do octane testing. It has been a long time since I researched this, but they use a special 1 cylinder engine and run it and when it knocks that tells them about the octane. I doubt many independent test facilities have this equipment.

 

idk where you would search for online or who you would call for information like that... but why do u need some fuel tested?

 

I bought some CAM2 unleaded, and the guy told me it's 110. Well, the only unleaded CAM2 listed on Sunoco's site is either 100, or 104. It's light blue, so it matches the color listed, I think he just used the wrong set of numbers to go by for octane. I'm pretty sure it's 104, but I was really just curious.

 

oh i gotcha... how much is that per gallon? we have some 100 octane here for 3.90/gal.

 

Did he tell you the research or mean octane number? Or the octane rating?

Octane rating is the mean and research numbers divided by 2.

(R+M)/2= octane rating

If he told you had an octane number of 110 he might be right, but it wasn't the octane rating, (which is the standard everyone goes by).

 

Wow!!! What brand? Sure wish I lived a little closer to GA!!

 

I think what he did was use the reasearch octane number,(109), and kind of "fudge" it up to 110. Like I said, it's light blue, and came out of the GT Plus drum, but I didn't want to make a scene in front of all the other people there. It'll still work.

 

gt plus is heavily oxygenated, it'll also make your eyes water

 

Is that good for a blown application?
