Ryan.G Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 While mapping the Whiftbitz race car last week we encountered an issue where the fueling all of a sudden starting going lean and the ecu was automatically putting in more fuel. We intially thought this was a filter issue but after going back over the log and talking to the guys at T1 injectors about what fuels are good with the Bosch core injectors. They stated that the MS109 race fuel we were using contains MTBE which is not compatible with the Bosch and IDxxxx series injectors and will cause the o-rings inside the injector to swell and not allow fuel to pass as well!! Cant believe they dont state it in the Injector worksheets! Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DARETT Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 One of the reasons I went for siemans over the ID's. None of the VP fuels can be used with them. I didn't know Paul was running the ID's otherwise would have mentioned it on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greeny Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 That's bad news I was hoping for a race fuel map. It's just the oxygenated fuels that you can't run I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) It's just the oxygenated fuels that you can't run I believe. Edit, just heard back from VP and C16 contains no MTBE but it also is not oxygenated. Edited October 27, 2011 by dude (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
