  • funky gas i guess?

    Last week my car was boosting like crap like 2nd i would only hit 12PSI and like 5th 13ish i was like WTF.. the car was quicker than stock but i wasn't feeling it i thought my DV was going on me even though no honking sound.. well i just drove the tank out and filled up yesterday drove around for a bit and then blammo 20psi is back... i'm assuming i got some shizzy gas that was retarding my timing or something..

        my car did that for about 3 months straight in calgary, as soon as i came back to brandon it was normal again. maybe my car just prefers prairie gas?

          Consider yourself lucky. I got a bad tank of gas. It turned out ot be more water than gas actually as it bulged the tank, popped my fuel pump and cracked my fuel line a foot out of the tank. This was, of course, in -30 weather in winter.
