    Bell Performance - Ethanol Defense. So I bought some of that...put about 1.2 oz to 12 gals of gas @ E32. Their website mentions 1oz to treat 10gals and also mentions importance of treating E10-15 gas.

    So are you guys just going with the 1oz to 10g or are you compensating for the higher E you run?

    Did you notice any hesitation or minimal loss of power? Only ran the car once since adding it...could've been weather cond's or imagination.

    I haven't used fuel additives since my first car...I never saw a single one that provided any benefit. Can't speak for others on here, but my guess is that most are just buying premium grade fuels (Shell, etc) and if are adding, it's only race fuel. I haven't seen any downside to running an ethanol mix other than needing to fill up a bit faster, using two pump nozzles, and now hitting the limits of my fuel pump with a 194pulley and cooler weather. (HPFP will hopefully correct).

    I've been running Lucas ethanol condioner and now Starbrite. Never seen or felt any downsides. My lpfp was getting clogged recently from running full e85 and was bogging during acceleration. I added 1.5 oz of Starbrite and I was able to run a full tank without bogging, pretty amazing. I want to try Bell, I heard it doesn't use alcohol which is good for the long run.
