Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
TOPIC: Custom octane fuel blends.
PURPOSE: Balance 87 octane and 91 octane fuel reserves for generator and car, respectively.
RESULTS: 70%/30% mix of 91/87 octane works in Premium required vehicle without triggering the fuel injector sensors. STP octane booster used with full tank. 1/2 of the tank is 100% 91 octane and the mix is the other 1/2, then octane booster applied to whole tank. No issues.
NEXT TEST: 70/30 mix without octane booster to see if fuel injector sensor gets triggered.
I'm playing with this to manage my fuel reserve, but also now doing some distillation and may attempt to do small scale refining experiment to learn how the refining process works and add some focused Chemical Engineering skills.
