Does anyone else run 92+ octane in there machine and will it run to hot?

 

Waste of money for no improvement in performance. Unless you up the compression of the engine, to the [oint where the engine needs the extra octane it helps nothing and cost unnecessary money. Don't other.

 

That will save me some $$$$ thanks

 

SOmething great to run in your ATV (and everything else you own too) IMO is SeaFoam. It cleans like nothing else, and also works as a fuel stabalizer. So if my ATV or snowmobile (it is safe for 2-strokes) sit a while I don't have to worry about the gas. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I will have to try that. It cleans your fuel system? Or does it clen more than that?

 

WRT Octane. Bear is right...putting in a higher octane than what is called for is a waste of money. If it makes you feel better to spend the extra money, be my guest, but there is no need to do it unless you've modified your engine to the point it needs the higher octane. If it pings on what is called for something is wrong.

Here's a good rule of thumb. Because of the reduced partial pressure of oxygen as you increase in altitude, you can reduce your octane one point for every 1,000 feet of altitude increase. For example, if your vehicle requires 91 octane and you drive a 4,000 feet, you can safely use 87 (91-4 = 87). This can save money for those not living at sea level.

 

Well that clears thing up thanks for input!

 

It will clean your entire fuel system, and more. It is even safe to put some in your crankcase. It will work on your valves, rods, etc. I just put it in with the gas though.

 

Thanks catterman. I will try that. I was curious if in MN you rode spider lake trails or soo line north from Palisade? I love those areas.

 

i have run 92 octane in my fourwheeler and made no difference, but i have to admit when i run it in my snowmobile specially my 96 zrt 600 triple i used to have that motor would liven up if i threw 92 octane in it. seems like the 2-strokes it will but the 4's it isn't worth it.
