Put in 87 Octane, Need Help

[LAK3RS]

I'll explain later when I have time, but I was on E and put in 7 gallons of 87, then the rest 93. My car gonna be alright? What should/can I do?

 

[cobra mike]

whats done to the car and does it have a 93 tune in it?
if you dont go flooring it, it should be fine
if its stock thats what it calls for anyways

 

[HellsBells]

Just drive it normally and don't floor it. You'll be fine. I'll explain later when I have time.

Do you have a lower octane tune? I have a tune for race gas, instead of removing the race gas I just pump 91 octane in on top of it and then switch back to my pump gas (91) tune. But I agree with the others, you'll be fine.

Hey, I know. Go buy a few bottles of octane booster and dump it in. 2 octane points per bottle so 3 bottle should do the trick...






Na, I kid...
Just dont go WOT till you burn up some of that gas. Then fill it back up again with 93 octane. You'll be fine.

You will be fine. I have done the same thing before and did not have my SCT with me so I just ran it. Your car wil be fine, maybe lose a few logs, but otherwise okay.

Do we have a face palm icon? It would be useful about now.

If you have half a tank of 87 and half of 93, then you have about a 91 octane mix. I don't see a big problem, especially considering I don't see any signs of FI.

Worst case scenario, knock is detected and timing is pulled. I have not heard of knock leading to rod failure on a N/A car.

d00d... really? I had more faith in you than to think you would ask something like this.

Been busy. So, I pressed the 93 Octane button at a Chevron gas station and it filled my car up with 87. I noticed it was 87 by the price being shown on the pump, so I stopped it then went to talk to the attendant about it. Then, he came out there and I swiped my card again with him watching and then pressed the 93 button and it showed 87 again. Well, the pump was messed up, and I ended up putting in 7 gallons of 87. I then switched pumps and put in 93 for the rest. I have a 93 octane tune, of course, and have kept the RPM's low so far and will fill it up more with 93 when I get the chance. I'm at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas right now, so my car is parked an I'm pretty busy. Thanks for the help guys. I know, I'm stupid!

You should be fine just don't go mashing on the accelerator until you use up all of the old gas or else put in some octane booster like other have said.

1) garden hose
2) suck
3) puke

repeat until tank it empty, then hit yourself a whole bunch for letting your tank get to empty...
