Will it hurt the engine of my daughters TRX 70 to run 110 octane race fuel? The top end was just completely rebuilt and I expect the compression to be close to stock. Not sure what that would be though. I know you need to run it in high compression bikes like my 250r because of predetenation, but will the opposite occur in lower compression machines? Will have a hard time detenating the fuel?

Thanks

 

I would think that it would be a total waste of money. From what I understand thumpers need oxygen not octane. My ktm400 runs no different on 100 octane gas compared to 92 octane(both from a conoco 66 station) The same cant be said for my 2 strokes. They ping fiecely on 92. I mix 1.5 gals 100 otane with 3.5 gals 92 and they run like a champ.

 

It shouldn't hurt anything but willl be a big waste of money like mywifesquad said.High octane fuels ignite slower thus preventing detonation in high compression engines but in low compression engines it burns too slowly and can actually cost a little power.Probably not enough to notice but I certainly wouldn't waste the race gas.

 

The reason I ask is because I have 7 gallons of old race fuel that I don't want to run through my 250R and can't just dump. Thanks for your answers.

 

Brush Pile!!! Put it in gallon milk jugs and set them on a brush pile. Get the fire going and get back!!! Just kidding, Really, Don't try that. Take it from me it can get out of hand very fast. Not that I would ever try something like that!







at least not again!

 

Can't burn stuff in my my neighbor hood. Legally anyway.

 

it wont hurt anything.

 

Hey, I'm just up the 15 in Temecula. Bring it by. I'll take care of it for you!

 

I might take the kids out this weekend and next, so I'll being using it in their bikes. Thanks for the offer though.

 

Thanks for the laugh TP. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
