Arrow Liberty Boost 98/ ethanol 95....... your experience

One particular site in Patterson Lakes, Victoria, has had many complaints with their fuel blocking intank fuel pumps..... me being one of them.

Besides that, who has had a go with 10% ethanol blended fuels?

I use the 95 octane 10% blend in the galant and it dosent seem that bad.

Anyone had any issues or feedback on Liberty or other independent fuels?

i swap between bp 98 and united 95 blend and seem to have good performance all round the downside with 95 is that it lacks the additives that make 98 what it is eg, protectants n stuff

No problems at all. I dont get any pinging with 98 Boot but slight on 95 but no issues or problems to report.


Although it is cheeper somewhat than the other stuff.

Tried the 98 in the ef, doesnt seem to mind it at all, oh just dont run it in a turbo, for some reason the turbo engines just dont like the mix, and it could get very expensive....

Been running it in the XR for about 6 months.

Car is running real well and no problems. But the B series shouldn't have problems with E10.

I've tried United's boost98 3 times now and the car runs really well on it. Pity we don't have a United here in Werribee otherwise I'd use it all the time.

Is it the servo opposite Caltex?

My brother uses it always. No problem.

I have used it twice and didn't get as many klms as I do with 91!

I accidently filled my Sprint up with 95 and it pinged so much it sounded like a Sigma with the timing chain death rattles! (bought a bottle of octane booster to fix it) Haven't tried 98 yet.
