From 93 octane back to 95 ron

[Djerms]

Here's the situation guys. I usually fill up using 95 ron fuel since this is the specified rating for 1.6 altis. Last fill up I decided to use 93 ron since its cheaper. Unfortunately this morning, I felt some engine choke when I backed out our garage. After that wala na ulit.

I'm planning to refill with 95 ron next time but I still have a 1/2 tank full. Is it okay to wait and empty the tank or should I mix it up with 98 ron to compensate for the low octane?

Wala bang masisira kung hintayin ko low fuel then fill up with 95 ron or dapat agapan ko na?

TIA

Bro saan ba ang loc mo? wala yata kasing avail na 98 octane dito sa pinas, di ako sure kung hinaluaan mo ng 98RON ma compensate na nito ang 93RON, ang alam ko ang mga bagong sasakyan meron knock sensor and auto adjust ito if ma sense nito ang knocking. ang better drain mo na lang and palit ng proper fuel for peace of mind.

Hi Raine, I think Blaze is 98ron? or is it 97? Anyway, I've decided to just wait couple of days more before refiling with 95ron. Sayang naman talaga kung idrain lang. No chocking experienced this morning naman. Baka nagkataon lang kahapon.

Thanks.

e10 has more than 95 ron

Bro, just wait for the 93 RON fuel to be consumed before filling it up again with 95 RON.

The *chocking* experience might be the ECU adjusting to the 93 RON... it'll either retard/advance the timing to cope with the 93 RON fuel. You might experience some power loss and/or a drop in your fuel economy while using 93 RON.

Just continue using whatever fuel is needed for your vehicle... in your case... the VVTi needs 95 RON since it has a higher compression.

M2, wala naman kaya masisira. In this case, will the engine adjust again once I use 95 ron again?

afaik,
e10= 93
v-power= 95
blaze= 96
xcs= 95
unleaded= 93

Just wait for the 93 to burn off. so you can have a tank of almost "pure" 95 Octane.

Don't mix Blaze in. It may be rated at 96 Octane, but from testing and experience, it really isn't as high-octane as V-Power... it's most likely a 92 or 93 base gasoline spiked with octane booster. I used to use it, but after tuning, I experienced power-loss when using it compared to V-Power. Ask GH... gained 8 hp from switching from Blaze to V-Power.

there should be no problem going to and back from a lower octane to a higher octane gas. there should also be no problem too if you are mixing both.

baka nanibago lang yung fuel sensor mo bro. normally, it would normalize after a while. try mo muna gumamit ng 93 ron and ubusin mo muna yung laman ng tank mo. sayang din yung matitipid mo.

For the Honda FD? Whatever is in your manual.

I don't know if the VVTi can maximize V-Power.

Guys, the info for your particular car is in your manuals or on your fuel door. AFAIK, if it says 95 RON only, V-Power is the best. If it doesn't specify, anything else will do. If it runs better on that gas than V-Power, then your car is optimized for lower octanes. Some cars built for lower octanes don't run as well on high octane and vice versa. It's really car dependent. The only thing I can really tell you is: if your car needs high octane, apparently, Blaze isn't it. XCS might be okay, but I don't have enough experience with it to tell... a friend whose car is tuned for 95 is running it right now and reports some hiccups. He will try V-Power when he uses it up.

djerms... anong symptoms nung *chocking* problem mo? idling going down kapag naka neutral or pumalo yung fan?
