Will using C-16 cause issues with your car after using it for a period of time? I know its a leaded fuel, so im thinking 02 sensor issues?

I know it puts a heavy and big hole in your wallet. Other then that yeah o2 problems and **** ton of carbon buildup in the motor.

Carbon, really? Id expect it to burn much cleaner the regular gasoline

Im not talking like daily drive the car on c-16 use, but to run a few tanks through it a year, would sensors be going bad that quick?

Yeah being it is leaded gas, and the fact it still high octane fuel. But if your running it once and a while for track day, yeah shouldn't have any problems as long as you have another fuel your using. I kinda thought you were talking about track days and all but I had to make a funny. It is great fuel but if your switching from say e85 to that theres not gonna be much of a difference.

Im planning on running a 93 octane map, then either a c16 or c85 alt map.

Id personally rather do c16, yea its more money, but if id go through 25gal a year, id be surprised.... Well thats what i say now.lol. Ill be able to make more power on this, i was just wondering what kind of side effects come with a leaded racing fuel. If it was gonna be too much hassle, thats when i would of just used c85

Honestly e85 would be the better choice being it is cheaper and will keep everything clean. I run e85 and trust me when I say its much better then even 93 other then fuel mileage.

Yea maybe c-85 might be better, i dont have e85 available around me, but i have a close vp dealer

I am unfamiliar with c85 so I can't really help ya on that one. What exactly is it?

You aren't lying on that one hahaha. You get use to the power and anything less is just uncivilized.

mrevo331

VP makes c-85, its ethanol based fuel that makes about 4% more power then your pump e85. And with it being a VP fuel, you know its always consistant

From what i gather, c85 will make more power then c16

C85 isnt to expensive either. You can get 55 gallon drum for under $500, not bad considering c16 will run you about $950 for a drum

Sounds good. C85 it is. and yeah it will keep your system clean that is for sure.

mrevo331

Yea im thinking c85 will be better in the long run for my motor and wallet. C16 is a pretty dated fuel choice also, q16 basically was made to replace it, but i cant run oxygenated fuels on my ID2000s

Looks like i can get c85 for $470 for 54 gallons, not bad at all

Good price. I agree sounds like a better plan. Good luck with it.

Yikes, I can get e98 for less than 3$/gallon.

Probably the only upside to living where I do
