Ethanol gas sucks

[JoseyR3Wales]

If your going to run a catch can be sure to do it right or you will set a CEL

About 30K miles and no CEL yet.

The 10 % Ethanol takes more to make the same amount of power, hence lower M.P.G. and more throttle to make the same power. Peak power is also reduced. I live in a state (Iowa) that is a big proponent of Bio-fuels, but I don't use it myself.

Y'all are discussing one of my pet peeves. Freaking ethanol fuel. I avoid it like the plague when ever possible. Here's a good resource for staying away from the junk

Yours looks like a good quality can - some of the cheap ones don't properly seal and computer thinks you have an air leak.

I hear ya but we can get it anywhere in NJ. This state sucks. Think I’ll send Trump a tweet, see what he can do for us!!

The link worked fine thanks for the list!

Another item to consider is the octane rating. I know in the states you can still buy 85 octane, which is no good in a hemi. Hemi's are recommended to run on 89 octane with 87 being acceptable. Once to really start to work them (especially in hot temps) 87 won't due. The ECU will retard the timing to prevent knock, costing you up to 30hp. When I tow in hot temps I run 91 octane without any loss of power.

I run 89 all the time and still a noticeable Improvement with real gas.

Several of our local Wawa stores have converted half of their diesel pumps over to ethanol-free 89 octane gas. It's been a nice addition.

I’m going to try 91
