Thanks for the advice guys, and happy 4th to all.


The story was simple. I drive 4 other vehicle that use 87, and 1 that's driven 2 days a week that use 93. Soon as I realize it was 87 and not 93 it was filled to the top. Mistakes happen and I'm a dumbass for not taking the time to pick proper fuel.

I'll just babe it for a few weeks and move on with my life. People have already admitted the same mistake and they're we're fine.

Yes I want to siphon, but I don't have the tools. If I can covert 87 to 93 by transferring it to my other vehicles I'd be more at eases.

Game plan.

Filler 1/2 way with 93, and never go over 3k RMP till then.

Any auto parts store should have a cheap vacuum pump for <$10 that should do the job. Hell they may even do it for you if you explain that you just need to siphon out some gas.
KaienZ34 and KratikosG37 like this.

The key will be to stay out of boost. If you can do that this plan should be fine, but even with the 1/2 tank of 93, I'd go easy on it until you get through yet another 1/2 tank after that.
