You should probably tear down the entire motor, drop the tank, and completely clean everything of every last bit of fuel, otherwise the two octanes will mix and cause a fiery explosion that will destroy y0 Vt3CuLar capabilites.


Jk!

Yeah the price of gas has made me drop down from 91 to 87 , & i'm running a Mini-Me . Damn High Compression , well i've been running on 87 for 2-3 weeks so far with no signs of detonation so I guess i'll just continue to use 87
